I have just read Sarah Payne’s ‘Horizon, Haraway and artifacts of knowledge’ in which she writes about the need for Haraway to be deciphered by other academics for her to be accessed by a wider audience.

We are adding to culture in what we post or otherwise contribute albeit by way of nano increments. Sometimes those increments can be decisive and influential – out of all apparent proportion to their value. This is often apparent in the media world and previously in the publishing world. This may be because the artefact [...] A rather poor week for my lifestream seeing as I focused on creating my visual artefact and commenting on as many other artefacts as I could. It wouldn’t look so poor had I thought to feed my comments; my bad. I was amazed by the multitude of angles from which my fellow course members approached [...] This week has been focused on creating my visual artefact and viewing and commenting on other fellow students’ artefacts. I have been really impressed by the quality of the work we have produced as a group.

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.

This week our main activity will be creating and discussing visual artefacts which help draw out themes, issues or ideas from across Block 1 of the course. Remember that you want your artefact to appear in your lifestream, and for us to have somewhere to discuss it, so if [...] I thought it might be interesting to capture a visual representation of what ‘digital culture’ currently means to me, before I do any of the readings or throw myself into the film festival. Below is my (exceedingly unprofessional looking, I know) visual brainstorm of my thoughts on some of the things the term ‘digital culture’ conveys [...] |
