Indrek Ibrus’s Summary

I am currently writing up my PhD thesis on early evolutionary dynamics of mobile web - focusing on interdependent changes in its media forms, its value-chains, its business models and its technological standards. In general my research interests lie around the theoretical domains of media archaeology, media ecology, media semiotics, political economy and interdisciplinary approaches to innovation studies. But more specifically I am working currently and have developed expertise on the historiography of the convergence and divergence processes that are about to bring us the mobile web as a new media platform. Working in close cooperation with the industry I am following the current developments in media production for this new platform. My future research-related aims include the studies on ongoing norm development for the mobile web and other new media platforms as well as practices of cross-platform content development.
