Below are some of the feedback received which provide some engagement, though I failed to create an artefact which removes the reader as a passive spectator, as discussed by Rose. If I had been brave enough to allow people to add links to it, the effect might have been different. I need to consider how thinglink might satisfy the ‘design culture’ criteria.

“This is more meaningful and accessible to me than other types of expression that are pure image. You show how I have been moving through the course myself, using bookmarks and diigo to collect the bits that are more important to me. What I like about your artefact is you have added a layer that shows the pathway of movement outward, connecting and hopping in ways that are both organized and random, leading to unexpected points. This is a quick way to see the overview and to trace forward and backward. Kudos!” Martell Linsdell

“I really liked the use of lines and intersections–rather rhizome-ish! It struck me as a very good example of curatorship–obviously much more than being a ‘digital librarian’.” Candance Nolan Grant

“This image really begins highlight the possibilities of DATA mapping – what is hiding in learner activity? What knowledge will be uncovered when data is visualised big scale?” Phil Devine

On the whole, I think this is too much of an exhibit. If I were to do it again, some of the following questions I would like to ask myself:
a) how would my audience see this? Would they be able to interact with the material, change it, own it? Can this image be de-territorialised (Deleuze, 1972)?
b) can this image change the relationship of a spectator to something else? Does it flatten the hierarchies of class, ‘race’, gender, sexuality, able-bodiedness and so on? (Haraway, 1991)
c) Which would be the most appropriate technology for the particular purpose?
d) What would be the compositionality for the purpose of the image creation? (Rose, 2007:13)
e) Does the artefact act as a frame for cultural thought?

Intersections – the edcMooc community is made up of individuals with different needs and interests.  Here, in edcMOOC, their lives somehow intersect with each other, and create a vibrant community.  How the lines or sticks drop and pile up determine the strength of connectedness, and eventually, if the connections fuse with each other, it becomes an organic connection rather than just piles of lines or sticks.  This piece of wall installation is by Sol Lewitt.  (photo taken by T.Meckenstock in Aug 2013, at Mass MOCA, USA) Please move your mouse over the image to see links.
