The cover is inspired by Medieval Europe’s Mappa Mundi or the Map of the World as a legacy of world-building, connection, engagement, and delineation of places and positionalities. The Latin word “Media” is “Middle” or a hub of transmissions and receptions whose currencies are information, mythmaking, and traces. The concept of legacy is that of a tracing from sources to utterances and counter-utterances. Media is a point of transitions and pivots. How legacy media is seen now is through the series of trajectories which has engaged momentum for new settlements of ways of being. Such settlements can be traced with maps that is more conceptual rather than locational. The Medieval European Mappa Mundi is not an accurate representation of the places but it is a sweeping look on enforcing power. The maps are littered with civilizations and monstrosities that create a sense of place where movements are controlled. Such is the legacy of the Mappa Mundi as an interstitial point of being, becoming, and fading.
