Utopic Day

Here is the companion piece to Dystopic Day.  Had a lot of trouble synchronizing things so this is the best I can do technically.   Dystopic Day should be watched first. 

I always find it easier to conceive of a dystopia rather than a utopia. Many years ago I read Dante’s Divine Comedy.  I could relate very well with Hell and Purgatory but not Paradise (I never finished reading Paradise). Any way, this is my conception of a utopic day at work. I wonder whether many of the dystopic images of a digital future we viewed during the film festival were really related to our current non-digital conceptions of dystopias.  Whereas it is much harder to depict a utopican digital future.  Just a thought.

Dystopic Day

After a lot of technical difficulties I have my visual artefact up on YouTube. Originally, I intended it to be one video – Dystopic Day, Utopic Day – but I thought I better get Dystopic Day up and hopefully I will have time to add Utopic Day.  If not I will add to this blog the concept behind the contrasting video.

Dystopic view of E-learning in future

Just found this video giving a dystopic view of the future of e-learning.

Does not address who is in charge behind the technology -> feeding in the ‘appropriate’ information. Emphasizes the passivity of students – Castell’s ‘interacted’ as opposed to the ‘interacting’.
