Immersion across media opens our perception to altered states of consciousness. Far from disconnecting us from our surroundings, these experiences reframe how we connect to the world and to others. In this age of technological acceleration, myriad new media forms redefine our immersive habits and patterns of gratification. States of Immersion Across Media invites readers to slow down and reflect on immersive practices, both new and old, their impact on our bodies, the affective attunements they evoke, the disruptions they afford, and the creative encounters they generate.
