“Ghost” 1899
The merging of photography and spiritualism makes me think of images like this and how they are manufactured for the sake of contemporary film within the genre of horror. But how many of us have looked into the origin of these images?
I always knew there were various levels of being a fan, but I’ve always known that I’d likely never be as excited for something like I’ve seen at sporting events. Does this behavior seem slightly scary to anyone else? #devotion #obsession #calmdown (via GIPHY)
In an Attempt to Reconnect
The anxieties which come in partnership with the ever-evolving technology of the west leaves one simultaneously viewing technology as our bodily extensions (as stated by Marshall McLuhan in “Understanding Media”) and also associated with a fear of losing “physical closeness and mutual interdependence” in relation to mechanical advancements (as expressed by Michael Heim in “The Cyberspace Dialectic”). As we continue to pursue paths of technological advancements which supposedly free us from some of the headaches and mundane tasks that we’d rather leave to emotionless machines – we are left to reconcile what this shift means for the average Joe. As easy as it might be to turn on your phone and flip through various screens which communicate an assortment of messages, what all is at stake when we rely on a hand-held device for information rather than our partner/spouse/friend/neighbor? What are the long-term repercussions for becoming even more stagnant and basking in the simplicity of having fast food, gifts, books, movies, groceries, etc. brought directly to your door. Even in the delivery of these things, one isn’t guaranteed a social encounter. While we continue to push and pursue the evolution of technology which is geared toward making life easier, there is something to be said for the daily challenges and problem-solving experiences that we designate as important for Kindergarteners but not for 20-somethings.
What I find the most thought-provoking in the whirlwind of bombarding technology is to distance oneself and pursue a life which is more connected with the world around you rather than the world of information (reliable or not) at your fingertips. As I pursue projects which are multi-modal in application, I am assigning more and more importance on the tangible, bodily experiences in relationship to technology rather than in contention with it. I think that this approach is one which will lead to a compromise which will reinstate a state of connectedness with our neighbors and peers – a connectedness which Heim states we fear to lose yet rarely act on in an attempt to regain.
 For more on Heim and conversations around new media, see Peter Lunenfeld’s “The Digital Dialectic: New Essays on New Media”
(via GIPHY) Made great progress on planning the final project this afternoon. Go team C&Z!
INTPs talking to their crush
You’d think it’d be something very intellectually stimulating but no, they start sweating and falling into a state of complete blankness. They want to say something smart that would actually make sense but can’t collect their thoughts and end up saying things like:
It is exceptionally difficult to find examples of Fremdschämen, so this will have to do for now.Â
Take my picture now Shake it till you see it
When vantage points and evolutions of media provide various backstories that are aided by converging media...we wonder just how dependent we are on some of these devices...
How you feel heading back to the car after finding a geocache and realizing muggles were watching you.
Let's geocache. Pretty sure I saw someone using their GPS to find one on campus over spring break.Â

Going to the movies is one of my favorite pastimes. Additionally, going to the drive-in has always been a particularly enjoyable experience. Unfortunately, drive-ins seem to have lost their appeal to mass-audience moviegoers. While reading Barbara Klinger write about the practices and preservation of film undertaken by AMC, I can’t help but think back on an experience at an abandoned drive-in theater. Above, we see and example of a neglected reel of film forgotten in an equally neglected venue of cinematic experience. While we often have the convenience of choosing between going to the theater or staying home to enjoy films, I’d much rather see more opportunities to enjoy the merging of the two (driving to a particular location for the sake of enjoying the comfort of your own vehicle)! Perhaps when I win the lottery...
The Evolution of Television
Evolution they call it
“Don’t sit too close to the TV set, you’ll go blind” -1990 “Oh, don’t worry about that.” -2016
THIS BETTER WORK. Soooo!! This was made long ago. It's just that I had nothing to turn it into a GIF. Oh mah GAWD! PURPLE GUY IS PHONE GUY! On Tumblr--->machiborg.tumblr.com/post/1185&hell...
We seem to be further distancing ourselves from having the level of “connectedness” that comes with being on the phone with someone. Now, we tend to opt for texting or instant messaging, which appears to be “connection” enough. What’s next? Pictures of mere facial expressions? Wait...we already do that....
Time + The Body...why do we assign a winner and loser? (via GIPHY)
I know this is only tangentially related to our class, but if there is no funding for innovate research like the kinds we hope to do/are doing, the future for our profession looks even grimmer.
Dear Photograph,
It’s hard to imagine this photo of my mum was taken in Rome nearly 50 years ago in 1969, before I was even born.
I had no idea that I would one day live in this beautiful city and that she had visited here previously on holidays. I only recently came across this old photo of her in an old album and it’s so nice to know that although she is no longer with us, she has been so close to where I pass by every day.

When photography make us (at least partially) immortal.
Happy MLK Day from Code.org.
Because people so often forget...
