House Passes Controversial Cybersecurity Measure CISPA | Threat Level | Wired.com - 1 views

    Interesting in terms of issues of ownership. Once our identities are "published" online, who owns them? Who "owns" our search histories? Google owns most of mine, I'd say, but it also allows me to supposedly delete items. Are our search histories too public now to be hidden? And who ever said we had a right to privacy on the world wide web? It does seem contradictory to the nature of a "web."

    As the parameters of cultural capital changes and cyber-literacy assumes central stage, security agencies such as the FBI also take note and understand that they have to re-adjust to cater to the threat that hackers pose.

    This is the hypertextual poem by Stephanie Strickland called "The Ballad of Sand and Harry Soot," to which Hayles refers in her article "Electronic Literature: What Is It?" Hayles's idea that we must recognize "the specificity of new media without abandoning the rich resources of traditional modes of understanding language, signification, and embodied interactions with texts" is absolutely at work in this poem.

      I found Hayles's views on authorship and Wikipedia to be particularly interesting: {12:03} "I'm not alarmed by Wikipedia. In fact, I think Wikipedia is the best source for some aspects of popular culture. . . And it really is a framework that draws on all the expert knowledge that's out there that doesn't exist in the authorized channels. To me, that's a great thing." {12:58} "It used to be that one would be an author in the sense of producing a print book. That print book would be vetted by expert readers at the press. . . But in Wikipedia, there's a very vibrant back-and-forth between all manner of readers and contributors. . . Rather than being off completely separate from print, in fact, Wikipedia has very complex cross-connections with print authority."

    Here's an interesting interview with N. Katherine Hayles (author of this week's readings) for a program called The Artist's Craft. Hayles talks about some of the concepts found in this week's readings and also touches upon some new ideas. I find the material to be extremely accessible in this Q&A format.

    This probably seems ridiculous that I'm sharing this, but this directly relates to a paper I wrote last semester about the rhetoric employed by AXE and now I think they're making a move that applies to this class. Here we have some combination of McLuhan's idea of media being an extension of man and we see elements of IF as people actively contribute the making of a graphic novel and then are characterized by the creators for their input all the while fusing their digital selves to some sort of global and digital AXE alliance. Imagine how difficult it would be to by a different product once you become part of their story and your digital self participates (to channel the ideas of Barry Brummett) in this particular reality.

    I found this site for a company that creates products that allow us to mix our real-world and digital experiences at once. One interesting product creates the image of fire or waves on a pool table that chases the pool balls as you hit them. I wonder in what way this is like e-literature.
  • Jillian Swisher on 22 Feb 12
     
    Eric, some of these technologies reminded me of Hayles's explanation of site-specific installations for interactive literature. I'm not sure how "literary" these things would be considered, but I found there to be an interesting parallel between the two ideas.
