Preemptive Media is a group of artists, activists and technologists who are making their own style of beta tests, trial runs and impact assessments based on independent research. PM is most interested in emerging policies and technologies because they are contingent and malleable. The criteria and methods of PM programs are different than those run by businesses and government, and, therefore, PM gets different results. PM hopes that their inquiries create new opportunities for public discussion and alternative outcomes in the usually remote and closed world of technology-based research and development.
Preemptive Media is a group collaboration between Beatriz da Costa, Jamie Schulte and Brooke Singer. The trio has been working together since 2002. We are based on the left coast and right coast of the United States.
