All Things Critiqued: August 2009
http://chelsconemac.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 31, 2009. Saussure: the internet's impact on literacy. Have you heard that the internet is making us stupid? That kids today read and write less than they used to and things like facebook are permanently ruining our society? If we think about it, spoken language came before written. Writing was the afterthought. Letters as we know them now are very abstract. Originally though, there was some attempt to make them representative. The increase in resources also has an affect on how linguists ...

October 13, 2009. The Bloggers are Revolting. Posted in Emerging Media and Communications. At 12:30 am by alinemckenzie. Back in my journalist days, I was forbidden to write anything in second person. Even something as benign as “If you’re the kind of person who X” opens the door to “well, I’m not, so I’ll stop reading now.” The principle was that a reporter never knows what’s in the mind of the reader. British theorist Stuart Hall. In his 1980 work “Encoding/Decoding” (an expansion of work h...8220;[I]t...

EMAC and its wisdom. What started as one and ends as another. Documentation of my Final MFA project at UT Dallas Pt. 3 and ish. 02162011 – 9:50 pm. It has been two weeks since I have last written the project update. Part of it was due to the weather and part to apathy and catching up. Progress has been made and for the most part I have locked the creative video portion of the projection and the video I will project. Myself and a few more as I get the names I’ll eventually have a full list of names. I lik...

All Things Critiqued: Thacker & Galloway
http://chelsconemac.blogspot.com/2009/11/thacker-galloway.html
Tuesday, November 24, 2009. This week’s reading, The Exploit by Galloway and Thacker, was definitely an interesting juxtaposition to last week’s 6 Degrees by Watts. Watts talked about networks using scientific method and computation, showing the ability of networks to spread and multiply. Between the two writings, there’s a common theme that networks are powerful. Whether its a file sharing. By viruses like the PCs are. November 24, 2009 at 3:42 PM. November 24, 2009 at 5:21 PM. The fact that all things ...

October 5, 2009. I spent the day fulfilling Manovich’s theory of new media, and boy, are my fingertips tired. Posted in Emerging Media and Communications. At 11:19 pm by alinemckenzie. Today at work, I edited video, something I’ve never done before. From the get-go, I was committing remediation. The editing program had four major areas on screen. There was the raw video I’d downloaded, the work in progress composed of snippets of video linked by transitions (both of these areas resembling a film reel...

Four Degrees From Beethoven | Steeplechasing

November 16, 2009. Four Degrees From Beethoven. Posted in Emerging Media and Communications. At 9:22 pm by alinemckenzie. One cool thing about network theory that Duncan Watts. Didn’t mention in his book. Is that it works over time as well as space. For instance, I’m four degrees removed from Beethoven. The tale involves AOL, Russia, the movie Moonstruck, an anonymous old woman at a party, and, of course, Beethoven. Actor Feodor Feodorovich Chaliapin. Beethoven was Beethoven. Died in Vienna , 1827.

November 10, 2009. Almost Like Real Life. At 2:04 am by alinemckenzie. I enjoyed danah boyd’s. Thesis, Taken Out of Context: American Teen Sociality in Networked Publics. I found it engaging, filled with the voices of actual teens rather than a dry scholarly tone, and sensible. As she put it:. The key teen social practices have not changed as a result of technology, but the site of gathering has. (p. 240). Unfortunately, in the end I regarded her conclusion as rather a duh! For the young people boyd inte...
