One line in Gimhyewon’s post got me to thinking about a topic that comes up a lot in art and design – the notion that creative work always feels incomplete and that a mature artist/designer develops the ability to know when to walk away from their work. I’ve seen this play out in a particularly…
As a result, all human culture has been absorbed in a certain kind of structures/matrixes/theories? Or human beings have decentred subjects in the world/minds, indicating the blind spot where structuralism is not related to our practical life since it is just theories that human beings have created? This means that the subjects are ubiquitous…
For my capstone I am working on a frog sound website (strange, I know). Part of the project involves me creating some simple interactive learning content for the site. This design will be informed by user research and a thorough literature review on related topics. Along with these, and other interaction design methods, I am…

Jeff”s presentation in this week makes me think more about the new media and HCI. I have heard the concept “cyborg” before. It contributes to many discussion on cultural issues, such as postmodernism and feminism. The fashion show video played in the end of Thursday’s class reminded me of this idea. To me, the avatars in the show…

Jimmy has sent me a deluge of questions, and I’ll do my best to answer them here. Some answers I am more confident about than others. AMM >What are the defining characteristics of AMM? What is it NOT? I think the defining characteristic that I am settling on is creativity practiced by populations, rather than…
OK so my disclaimer here is that I was just not in the liveblog zone today. It takes a certain amount of cognitive function to both absorb and get what’s happening on the computer at the same time, and discussion is especially hard for me. Jeff, Marty, Mike or whoever has editing powers, please do…
Jeff- I really loved your presentation… and I have a few questions. Or, rather, some themes from your talk that I was hoping you might elaborate on. Obviously, I don’t expect you to answer all these…but maybe you could comment on one or two 🙂 AMM >What are the defining characteristics of AMM? What is…
icanhascheezburger There is the link to the site I mentioned and here is the article in the WSJ I have actually gone back through from the beginning (click start at first) and looked at every single one. The self-refferential material and in-jokes are all over the place, but I think almost anyone can read 3-4…
I am engaging in this class. 🙂 Even though I am not used to write my idea.. what I want in this class is that I am trying to apply my understandings of some theme/context into my writing, based on this lecture Prof. Jeff gave us rather than mention directly the theories. It is more useful for me. (sometime more…
