This links into the idea of the consumer becoming the consumer, but outside the digital environment. It seems everyone is at it! swfobject.embedSWF(”http://www.youtube.com/v/3MssPLD_yfo&rel=0&fs=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=0″, “vvq-141-youtube-1″, “425″, “344″, “9″, vvqexpressinstall, vvqflashvars, vvqparams, vvqattributes);
Transliteracy: I think I am now getting to grips with the lifestream and some of its ethos. If my DIY definition of transliteracy is valid, then it means not only being able to manipulate digital media – to create and communicate using it, but it also means being able to see how we are affected by the use [...] I like what Carpenter has to say about the lines between the producer and the consumer of digital artefacts becoming blurred. However, the producer does still have the upper hand, at least in some cases. Try getting yourself through this webtrailor without referring to its navigation to help you! http://www.tate.org.uk/modern/exhibitions/unilevermiroslawbalka/default.shtm Kress’s (2005) quote, above, referring to how we are engaging differently with media made me think of this:
which made me think of this: Marey’s Chronograms. Dr Nathan passed the illustration across his desk to Margaret Travis. ‘Marey’s Chronograms are multiple-exposure photographs in which the element of time is visible – the walking human figure, for example, [...] Kress (2005) refers to speech/writing as having a ‘finite stock of words – vague, general, nearly empty of meaning’. However, for image/depiction he states that ’there is an infinitely large potential of depictions – precise, specific and full of meaning’. I am not sure that I agree with Kress here. Reading over the history of the Mona [...] I’ve been trying to work out just what is meant by transliteracy (Thomas, et al, 2007). I have currently honed it down to: an awareness of how interacting with different artefacts from different media will affect a variety of aspects of life. The reason I chose this picture is because, for me, it joins the discourses of [...]
Future utopias are deeply described here in this video, but I feel that Kurzweil is down playing the disadvantages of the developments of technology. It is a very good clip to watch after having watched ‘Bladerunner’ or having read ‘Neuromancer’. Instead of making the familiar strange, as with the uncanny (see Bayne, forethcoming 2o10), immersing oneself [...] This is just silly and I am doing it just because I can: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/cyberia Main Entry: Part of Speech: Definition: Etymology: Usage:

If you watch the director’s cut of Bladerunner, it is pretty clear that Deckard is also an android, he just doesn’t know it. Looking back at this post at the end of the course, it is clear how it links with the posthuman. If we [...] |
