The Un-Symposium: Number Nine

Our class’s lasting sentiments:

• The Russian guy’s ideas on interpretation: how inserting something into a narrative can completely change its meaning
• Sam’s “heated discussion” with Adrian: difference between infinite capacity (has the capability of stretching on forever) and infinity (the infinity factor is implicit and it does stretch on unendingly)
  • Limiting factors: server space, the necessity of electricity
• Shelf space and digitalisation:
• Polluting the internet: every time you take a selfie you’re killing a tree
  • Value is perceived
  • Most of what is on the internet offers no value to society
  • The issue is what we define as valuable
