In this course
Joseph Matheny appears in the course readings as a figure connected to the origins and circulation of conspiracy narratives in digital spaces, particularly through his involvement with ARGs (Alternate Reality Games) and early internet culture that prefigured QAnon's distributed narrative mechanics. The readings cite him in relation to how obscure blockchain-based platforms and participatory storytelling technologies create ecosystems where conspiratorial content proliferates, suggesting his work illuminates the genealogy of how AI-age information systems collapse the boundary between game, fiction, and belief. His archival practices—comparing iterations of documents across formats—exemplify the forensic labor required to trace how networked narratives mutate and persist across decentralized systems.
