Project CLOSER (closAR): reading day
http://closar.blogspot.com/2010/03/reading-day.html
Monday, March 8, 2010. As Spring Cleaning happened last week, the closAR team borrowed some books from the V2 Library to read on Mono Monday. As I was reading "space time play," one point I found interesting with pervasive gaming was the loss of the safety zone. Real consequences ensue in this real space, taking away some of this free exploration that happens in virtual gaming space. It reminds me of Apter's reversal theory. March 10, 2010 at 7:10 PM.

http://closar.blogspot.com/2010/03/closar-does-beeld-geluid.html
Tuesday, March 2, 2010. ClosAR does Beeld and Geluid. Last Wednesday, the team paid a visit to the Beeld and Geluid (B&G) Institute to taste the kid's menu (the Experience) and perused the kitchen pantry (the Archive). It was an interesting dichotomy of activity. The above-ground level was swarmed with little children, while the layers underneath were deserted. The Experience in a glance. The Archive in a glance. The archive is actually quite dynamic. If something is shown in the morning, the archive...

Project CLOSER (closAR): Reading: Ritual
http://closar.blogspot.com/2010/03/reading-ritual.html
Thursday, March 11, 2010. Update from my end on the research. Some notes from Erik Davis's "TechGnosis" that apply to the Ritual category:. The speed and mutability of current technoscience times evokes supernatural qualities. Technology has "demystified" the world, but this mysticism is actually hiding in cultural, psychological, and mythological areas. It comes back as well, perhaps without our knowing (ex: how Christian myths have framed technological/economic growth). The "Great Divide" from Latour's...
