Deconstructing 'You've Got Blog' (book version; Joe Clark: fawny.org) - 0 views

  • A blog is a form of exteriorized psychology. It’s a part of you, or of your psyche; while a titanium hip joint or a pacemaker might bring technology inside the corporeal you, a Weblog uses technology to bring the psychological you outside of it. Your Weblog acts as a new limb, a new mouth, and a new hemisphere of the brain. Once those new organs come into being, you’re no more likely to remove or amputate them than the original organic equipment they augment. I continue to write Weblogs – not for money, not for renown, not for anyone but myself.

      This sounds so much like Ulmer's presentation of technology as a "prosthesis" for a "natural or organic human potential."

    Wow, thank you! As we spoke in class, so many opportunities. Yet I find it a little bit complicated. Maybe cause I'm facing it for the first time.

For the Comic lovers (Brandon!) - 1 views

    Henry Jenkins, the father of convergence culture, writes about visual linguistics of comics and graphic storytelling. Comics are a great gateway into Transmedia storytelling.

    Mazzuchelli is one of my favorite artists in comics; not only because of Batman: Year One or Daredevil: Born Again (both amazing works), but also the City of Glass comic in the article. What's so powerful about this piece is how it talks about comics bringing the picture plane and language together, what McCloud in "Making Comics" refers to as "montage." Thank you!

    An in depth look at the guy who penned the entire overarching narrative of the Assassin's Creed series. More importantly, an article pointing at the growing need and want of storytellers for the design of games. Good stuff!

    I thought this was a great write up and relevant to our program as a whole. Fast Company's Co.Create is also a great outlet to keep up with Interactive in terms of it meeting art and commerce

    Brandon - you are one of my favorite people - for so many reasons, this is one of them.

Sven Birkerts: The Gutenberg Elegies - 0 views

  • To him [Havelock] the basic shift from oral to literate culture was a slow process; for centuries, despite the existence of writing, Greece remained essentially an oral culture. This culture was one which depended heavily on the encoding of information in poetic texts, to be learned by rote and to provide a cultural encyclopedia of conduct. It was not until the age of Plato in the fourth century that the dominance of poetry in an oral culture was challenged in the final triumph of literacy. That challenge came in the form of philosophy, among other things, and poetry has never recovered its cultural primacy. What oral poetry was for the Greeks, printed books in general are for us. But our historical moment, which we might call "proto-electronic," will not require a transition period of two centuries. The very essence of electronic transmissions is to surmount impedances and to hasten transitions. Fifty years, I'm sure, will suffice.

      Notice the Ulmer-like analogy comparing oral poetry to books...Also the note of how long these transitions can take....
