The week’s observations

This has been a very busy week, trying to post comments, following threads, building up a visual log of activity.

Here I hope to give a snapshot of most recent activity, offering me a time to reflect and synthesize:

• Amy posted a comment touching on  ’the fear of technology’, yet technology and humans are very much intertwined.
• Candace illustrated that smell may well be on its way to bringing a new sensory experience into the digital realm.
• Chantelle offered a great example of how art can make visual, with the artist Sol Le Witt offering a framework for her digital artefact
• Annabel is currently away from digital technology, due to stay in Kenya. This is a stark illustration of the digital ocean, with continents not necessarily within reach
• Phil’s artefact is both a very private and public statement, a visual and aural response to MOOCs and a theoretical introspection, more, I would like to suggest, a digital ‘installation’ to illustrate the perception of ‘space’
• Steph illustrated how digital boundaries are overcome, or blocked, with wifi networks locked/unlocked, the naming of some giving an interesting identity to their locations
• Nikki’s Glogster artefact gave me the inspiration to sign up and use this platform to continue with my love sick story…

Voila, my very human aggregation! … with the help of the ‘recent post and comment’ facility in WordPress…

(I thought I could read it out and record it but due to lack of time, I have to give this a miss…)
