Week 8 The Tutorial

Week 8 Tutorial

This was my first full workshop collaborating with my group for project Brief 4 and we dedicated our time today to read the academic articles that focused on our particular aspect of media, which is mediums.

Something I found really interesting was Socrates critique of writing and how it impedes on man’s ability to think and communicate clearly if they rely purely on what was written. I saw a snippet on the 7pm project the other day discussing how interactive media and having everything written down led to short term memory loss. There was a case study of a lady who believed her work ended at 4 o’clock which she wrote down on her desk, it turns out it was actually 4:30 and she had been giving herself half an hour of every day for the last month or so. This demonstrates Socrates theory coming into actualisation due to today’s media environment.
