Together with Robert Sumrell, he runs the non-profit architectural collective AUDC; their first book, "Blue Monday", was published in 2007. In 2005/06 Varnelis was a visiting scholar with the "Networked Publics" program at the University of Southern California's Annenberg Center for Communication. This fall, MIT Press will publish the results of this program as "Networked Publics", edited by Varnelis. His essay for receiver looks at how mediated communication has changed our notion of place, created non-places and now has us darting between simultaneous environments.
