The cool cats from the Monday 4:30 tute have come up with some interesting questions from the Matt Soar reading for the week 8 symposium.

1. Soar argues that makers should choose keywords based on meaning rather than visual appearance. Does this contradict the way we’ve been using Korsakow?

2. Why would we choose Korsakow as a filmmaking system if it only can be viewed on certain, limited technologies?

3. What is the point of having a technology that might soon become obsolete – is there any way the authors of Korsakow films can preserve their works without fear that they may not function (if for example; Adobe ceases to exist)?

4. Is it a possibility that Korsakow will allow an ’embed’ function that links to other media (Ie. Vimeo, Vine, YouTube)? And what might this mean for K-films?

5. Is Korsakow a place purely for artistic expression or is there any potential for it to be used commercially?

6. Is technology leading us towards a purely graphic/symbol based method of storytelling that is independent from linguistics?

I look forward to hearing how the panel answers these questions.
