“You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.” – Friedrich Nietzsche Questioning semantics, the realism of online privacy and the deliverance of content to create a presence, the symposium was a steady debate on the how, rather than the […]
Over the last few weeks, hypertext and the physical limitations of a book have developed across all blogs. From oppositional opinions, afflictions and new founded knowledge, the questions presented in the symposiums have fuelled discussions; driving individuals to question and even argue opinions surrounding technology. While hypertext can be presented as a privileged form of […]
Text is changeless, but unlike time that is suggestively nonlinear, the possibility of a kaleidoscope book is restricted by linearity and it’s fixations. If such a book were to exist and wholesomely respond ‘to you moods, your whims, your latest fetish’s’, where would the author lie? How would you know when you had completed the book? If […]
Hypertext is a multilinear shapeshifter. It expands. It deepens. It interconnects. Is it untapped in potential? Maybe. Is it critical for information technology? Of course. Focusing on the structure of hypertext, Landow feverishly breaks down the structure of hypertextual links and the possibilities it serves. Narrowing down the expanding passage of information, three useful questions […]
If there’s anything I’ve learned so far from hypertext, it’s that the promotion of simplicity is rather complicated, particularly as simplicity isn’t an idea learnt institutionally. The two hopes of simplifying our lives and making information accessible is indeed a distant hope. Whimsical as it may seem, Nelson addresses his hopes preceding multiple systems and discussions […]
A collective memory, an awareness, an absence of linearity. The symposium projected thoughts, ideas and opinions that broke down the relevancy of questions that were discussed and constructed in my tutorial. Pitched to the cohort, there was a distinct difference when breaking down these questions. For one, when discussing such ideas of hypertext and predictability, […]
In a society governed and defined through information, network literacy works with the latter to create accessible, comprehensive and maintained materials. By observing the relevancy of catalogue’s and their systems, the usual automatic presumptions– that is, how we participate within network literacy as an individual- become absolute and self-conscious. Prior to the reading, I had […]
Andy Warhol famously once said ‘art is anything you can get away with’ and those original words came from a Canadian poet. Creative Commons works fundamentally to protect and share work in the grandeur of the digital marketplace. If you upload something- art, media, ideas- they are yours and yours alone to dictate how they […]
