my thoughts in bullets

• Manovich part 2
• 
  
• the music video (emergence)
• cd rom and the cinegratographic
• the point and click (just wasted 20 minutes looking up nancy drew pc games) there were cookies and now all my ads are for nancy drew.
• I should start gaming more (oculus rift- spatial experience, stanley parable- game theory, portal-multiplayer)
• strategy>> amnesia as learning through narrative. implied narrative through problem solving/puzzles.
• loop as a narrative engine
• porn peepshow loops (noted) gifs
• mobius house: space as a narrative, days as a loop
• tango: https://vimeo.com/90339479
• now you can get a tamagotchi on your phone>> the app is free what is the desire to control anothers life when you have your own to manipulate?
• Why is this an obsession? do we even really need to control ourselves.
• loops as co-existing temporalities
• the micro and macro narrative of spatial montage
• temporal vs spatial structure

• Olga Lialina very interested in her work since I saw it in  my intro class. it is very interesting and useful to imagine the web as a location for work but also as a medium itself to be used in term of expanded cinema. that is how ingestion of medium now exists.
• Interested in how this space can be expanded within experience: newhive.com >>> Internet as medium!

• Youngblood part 2
• 
  
• piratebay.se >>how is the internet being free
• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pirate_Bay_trial >> see how it isn't being free.
• should we expect freedom in virtual reality when it doesn't explicitly exist in physical reality?
• the monetization and of this realm reflects the control in the other.
• think: Orwellian thought crime } you can be as double unplussed as you want about it, but it's totes legit rare, lolz ((my phone knows to capitalize Beyonce. Beyonce is capitalized))
• Internet crime = real crime. Caught on tape is caught in the act.
• How can the internet be utopian when we don't live in a utopia?
• To quote Alejandro Borsani "The internet is about 95% porn, 4% stupidity, and 1% something that may be remotely interesting."
• It exists on a utopian platform covered in the truth that our collective consciousness is full of bullshit.
• What are we as artists going to do about that?
