Lecture on Tuesday

slightly related - I hope

ok - so I found this, it is related to the idea of kinetic through cyber space, i hope no one is offended, but it is the study of the internet (so we were bound to stumble upon the topic of sex eventually)...

they say the internet is only a mirror of society so here is the link

 -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teledildonics - I put it on here because the term was coined by Ted Nelson a founder of the ideas on the internet.

Sixth Sense

We need to be investigating this - a seminal moment in new media, as important as Berners-Lee inventing HTML.

Another Perfect World

Hi everyone,

thought you might be interested in this - its a Channel 4 documentary about on-line 3D immersive worlds.

The areas of interest that tie in with what John was talking about in Thursdays lecture, is how the real world and the cyberworld collide; the 2 stories in particular that stand out include how an online gaming world from South Korea lead to real life killings - and the guy how made millions selling sex toys in Second Life!!!!

Though nerdy, its a really really cool film

After Effects

Tonight's session will introduce you to After Effects - a motion graphics and compositing tool. I would describe it as Photoshop on acid.

Spaaaaace

I had a closer look at the Sea Dragon – http://seadragon.com/. The idea of applying a less conventional navigation system like this one is a kinda bizarre break from the conventions that suffocate graphic and web design. But once you get used to it, it starts to make perfect sense. The browser plugin used to deliver it probably makes a lot of difference, (Sea Dragon uses some weird witchcraft instead of anything i can identify) but there are loads of design companies adopting this kind of navigation using Flash. In particular, Wefail – http://www.wefail.com

A good example i found was this little nugget!!!
