media: June 2005 Archives
I went to Lilia's presentation in Amsterdam yesterday. It was great - I learned a lot that was totally new to me (both from the presentation and from conversations afterwards) and I learned how typical most of my goals and ambitions are for this blog. :-)
One of the more intriguing conversations I had afterwards was with one of the faculty of the Virtual Studio, which is the group that sponsored the talk. Katie (from UCSD, knows at least two of our professors) pegged the presentation style, ethnographically, as "confessional."
The notion of an enclosed space in which to confess brings to mind Matt's question about the space/place constructed by a network of blogs/bloggers - "where" is it, and "what" is it as a research object similar to or different from other electronic media? He expanded: "How are blogs constituted differently than other types of media, electronic media – is it the absence of topic, forum, space – a spaceless place? Where the private becomes public? How does blog constitute a space or a place? And what does that have to do with the work or the identities you’re trying to capture?" Tangent: Matt is also faculty at the Virtual Studio, a research organization, similar to the place Lilia works - they get to do research of their own choice - within, no doubt, the scope of the particular organization. Awesome!
Am going to go on Tuesday, why not?
Went to the presenter's blog, Mathmagenic, and found this. I like it. :-) Maybe love is something one can grow into even after infatuation fades and the shock of pain and imperfection wreaks havoc?

Some day, when research isn´t the most consuming thing in my life, participating in something like The Peoria Prize for Creativity could be fun. Cool, anyway to see the first round winners - who produced a global, realtime musical performance via the worldwide web.
