Erkki Huhtamo is a professor at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) in the Departments of Design Media Arts, and Film, Television, and Digital Media. He received his Ph.D. in cultural history from the University of Turku, Finland. Huhtamo is an internationally renowned media historian and theorist, and also a specialist in the history and aesthetics of media arts. He is one of the founders of an emerging approach to media studies known as media archaeology, dealing with the “media apparatus” in historical case studies and the archaeology of interactive media. Huhtamo’s new book projects are a monograph on the history of mechanical theaters and a volume tentatively titled “Media Archaeology as Topos Study.”
