conference panel 2: media addicts 1
left to right:crandall, jie, fuller, penny
starting with jordan crandall
the state of readiness
affect = readiness (it is changeable)
readiness is the way a body is preparing itself to get ready to use machines (like airplanes …) in our time… or the system you’re living in
coincidence is taking the place of communication (in our media world)
conclusion: he was often focusing on the crazy fact that we do things (for example movements) a fraction of second before we are concious about it.
second speaker: simon penny
he was talking about interactive media about basic form of machine presentation. “what are we learning when working with interactive systems and how can we manage and later express it”
skills that are trained in simulation are real skills (pilot – flight simulator) it’s more effective because it’s cheaper.
so playing computer games is also training
how can this learning be expressed outside of computer games.
now reading a report from a us army sociologist: this report compares the amount of hits between the police at the shooting range and kids running amok at school. One example given to us showed that the police had 18 hits with 40 shots and the kid had 8 hits with 8 shots (5 head shots and 3 torso) this doesn’t mean that a kid who plays computer games runs amok but if an amok running kid was trained on the computer it had a high amount of hits.
next speaker: lu jie
talking about long march project
he showed a video about a group of artist who climbed up the mount everest to cut off the peak!!!
great idea!
