Galloway's first book,
Protocol: How Control Exists After Decentralization, is a study of information networks and their political and computational effects. It identifies
protocols like
TCP/IP and
HTTP as means of control that govern people's interactions with the Internet. His other published writings examine
film noir, video games,
software art, hacktivism, and digital aesthetics. Galloway has conducted several seminars through The Public School NYC, including "French Theory Today", and translated the work of philosopher
François Laruelle and the
Tiqqun collective. Galloway is also a programmer and artist. He is a founding member of the Radical Software Group (RSG), and his art projects include
Carnivore (awarded a
Golden Nica prize at
Ars Electronica 2002), and
Kriegspiel (based on a
war game originally designed by
Guy Debord). Galloway was an
Eyebeam Honorary Resident and later became a member of their Advisory Council. In 2013 Galloway, along with
Eugene Thacker and
McKenzie Wark, published the book
Excommunication: Three Inquiries in Media and Mediation. In the opening of this
media studies book the authors ask, "Does everything that exists, exist to be presented and represented, to be mediated and remediated, to be communicated and translated? There are mediative situations in which heresy, exile, or banishment carry the day, not repetition, communion, or integration. There are certain kinds of messages that state 'there will be no more messages'. Hence for every communication there is a correlative excommunication." This approach has been referred to as the "New York School of Media Theory". == Bibliography ==
