6/8일

We learned about 'open source' lecture. Then, let's see outline of today. *what is "resistance" in digital media? *models of politics - open-source software and virus.First, what is "resistance"? It is tactics and means to oppose the strategies of "The Prince". and countering the techniques and "technologies of power" that impose isolation, distraction and domination through surveillance, entertainment and force. For example, virus, trojan horse, worm, bomb etc.

Another notion of open source. There are many kind of open source.
Linux in openning system, Apache, BIND in internet and many programming tools.

I really surprise that today lecture is last class and it is very feeled the lack of no more see professor yoon.
Today's lecture open source is little familial because Some time ago virus makes me crazy. I was really busy to find computer vaccine to cure the computer. Also Linux and BIND program are used by me when I was young.

5.30 is a no class

Conference in media !!

ratio of the senses is What I am saying is that media as extensions of our senses institute new ratios, not only among our private senses, but among themselves, when they interact among themselves. Radio changed the form of the news story as much as it altered the film image in the talkies. TV caused drastic changes in radio programming, and in the form of the thing or documentary novel. It is the poets and painters who react instantly to a new medium like radio or TV." from Marshall McLuhan Understanding media: the extensions of man

media studies is the theory and practice of exploring how people and things are connected, reflected, extended, reconfigured, and separated by technologies and techniques media as mirrors and media as machinations and media as prostheses
digital media studies is a kind of media studies that pays especial attention to the techniques and technologies of computers and computer networks

A cyborg is a cybernetic organism, a hybrid machine and organism, a creature of social reality as well as a creature of fiction. ... By the late twentieth century, our time, a mythic time, we are all chimeras, theorized and fabricated hybrids of machine and organism; in short, we are cyborgs.”

Computer Game

Game engine
A game engine is the core software component of a computer video game or other interactive application with real-time graphics. It provides the underlying technologies, simplifies development, and often enables the game to run on multiple platforms such as game consoles and desktop operating systems such as Linux, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows. The core functionality typically provided by a game engine includes a rendering engine (“renderer”) for 2D or 3D graphics, a physics engine or collision detection (and collision response), sound, scripting, animation, artificial intelligence, networking, streaming, memory management, threading, and a scene graph. The process of game development is frequently economized by in large part reusing the same game engine to create different games.


Identification is known to psycho-analysis as the earliest expression of an emotional tie with another person. It plays a part in the early history of the Oedipus complex. A little boy will exhibit a special interest in his father; he would like to grow like him and be like him, and take his place everywhere. We may say simply that he takes his father as his ideal.
–from Sigmund Freud, Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego
–Cf., Jacques Lacan on “The Mirror Stage,” and writings about identification in film theory by Laura Mulvey, Kaja Silverman, Christian Metz, Stephen Heath, and others


–Telephone is a cool medium, or one of low definition, because the ear is given a meager amount of information. And speech is a cool medium of low definition, because so little is given and so much has to be filled in by the listener. On the other hand, hot media do not leave so much to be filled in or completed by the audience. Hot media are, therefore, low in participation, and cool media are high in participation or completion by the audience. Naturally, therefore, a hot medium ... has very different effects on the user from a cool medium...

Do you know CSCW?
CSCW (computer-supported cooperative work) is a field of research and design.
There is a 3 character.
One is researchers in this field investigate how people work together in groups, and design computer-systems and networks to enable or facilitate group work.

Two is considered to a part of a larger field known as CHI or HCI: human-computer interaction (HCI) design, evaluation, implementation, and study of interactive computing systems for human use.

Three, Practitioners include Lucy Suchman, Terry Winograd and Fernando Flores (as well as several hundred others in university and corporate research laboratories).


Agre’s surveillance model is visual metaphors and assumption that watching is
non-disruptive and territorial metaphors as in the invasion of private space

Many people used HCI as tools. It is based on computer sicience. For example, Memex
and Sketchpad and NlS etc..


Now i explain Johnstone’s algorithm .
"I say to an actress, ‘Make up a story.’
She looks desperate, and says, ‘I can’t think of one.’‘Any story,’ I say. ‘Make up a silly one.’ ‘I can’t,’ she despairs.
‘Suppose I think of one and you guess what it is.’
At once she relaxes, and it’s obvious how very tense she was.
‘I’ve thought of one,’ I say, ‘but I’ll only answer “Yes,” “No,” or “Maybe.”’
She likes this idea and agrees, having no idea that I’m planning to say ‘Yes’ to any question that ends in a vowel, ‘No’ to any question that ends in a consonant, and ‘Maybe’ to any question that ends with the letter ‘Y’.
For example, should she ask me ‘Is it about a horse?’ I’ll answer ‘Yes’ since ‘horse’ ends in an ‘E.’
‘Does the horse have a bad leg?’
‘No.’
‘Does it run away?’
‘Maybe’
She can now invent a story easily, but she doesn’t feel obliged to be ‘creative,’ or ‘sensitive’ or whatever, because she believes the story is my invention. She no longer feels wary, and open to hostile criticism, as of course we all are in this culture whenever we do anything spontaneously.”

what number you say yes or no??


ethnomethodology's definition the study of the ways in which people make sense of their social world.

4/12 artificial intelligence

Alsn Truing is a founder of computer science, articial intelligence.
He made many revolution machines but i think Engima cipher machine is a
best machine.

Do you know Turung's "imtation game"?
It is played with three people, a man, a woman, and an interrogator who may be of either sex. The interrogator stays in a room apart from the other two. The object of the game for the interrogator is to determine which of the other two is the man and which is the woman.

And the artficial intelligence used many ares. For example , Knowledge Representation,
Programming Languages ,natural Language Understanding Speech Understanding ,
Vision

Social Network

We sometimes think that most people is isolated by midia . So we make the social network for enriching media. If you will contact it, you feel the various world. Why do we call it to science? Because it finally make a conquence .While you study network, you find a strange consequence. It is a relation that all people relate to each other by 6 step. Our world mix many various people but similar people makes a social

The web as a technology

Users of the Web are familiar with URLs, the Uniform Resource Locators. A URL is a locator for a network accessible resource. Such a locator can be considered an identifier for the resource that it refers to. Depending on the interpretation of identification, various different attributes of a resource could be considered as an identifier for that resource. However, what comprises a functional resource identifier depends upon the context in which that identifier will be used. For example, in a group of five people, identifying individuals by weight is unlikely to be practical. In many situations, we assign a name to an object and use this attribute as the object identifier. Such names also have to be chosen with regard to the context in which it will be used in order to be functional. Back to the example of a group of people, we may refer to a particular person by a combination of their fore and surnames. This name label would probably adequately identify a particular person in a group of five.
The Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) are a set of character strings, defined by a generic URI syntax, that are used for identifying resources. A URI provides a simple and extensible means for identifying a resource that can then be used within applications. The URI specification implements the recommendations of various functional recommendations (see further information below).

old digital media engelbart's think

When technologies connect or separate people, they become media.
Technologies embody social, political, cultural, economic and philosophical ideas and relationships. I think Digital media send information to people that we always contact it.
Engelbart is a old digital media's developer. His motivation is that man’s population and gross product are increasing at a considerable rate, but the complexity of his problems grows still faster, and the urgency with which solutions must be found becomes steadily greater… Augmenting man’s intellect, …, would warrant full pursuit by an enlightened society.
Engelbart say that you are quite elated by this freedom to juggle the record of your thoughts, and by the way this freedom allows you to work them into shape. You reflected on this cut and try process really did appear to match the way you seemed to develop your thoughts. Golly, you could be writing math expressions, ad copy, or a poem, with the same type of benefit. You were ready to tell Joe that now you saw what he had been trying to tell you about matching symbol structuring to concept structuring.

As WE MAY THINK

Of what lasting benefit has been man's use of science and of the new instruments which his research brought into existence? First, they have increased his control of his material environment. They have improved his food, his clothing, his shelter; they have increased his security and released him partly from the bondage of bare existence. They have given him increased knowledge of his own biological processes so that he has had a progressive freedom from disease and an increased span of life. They are illuminating the interactions of his physiological and psychological functions, giving the promise of an improved mental health.
Our present languages are not especially adapted to this sort of mechanization, it is true. It is strange that the inventors of universal languages have not seized upon the idea of producing one which better fitted the technique for transmitting and recording speech. Mechanization may yet force the issue, especially in the scientific field; whereupon scientific jargon would become still less intelligible to the layman.
One can now picture a future investigator in his laboratory. His hands are free, and he is not anchored. As he moves about and observes, he photographs and comments. Time is automatically recorded to tie the two records together. If he goes into the field, he may be connected by radio to his recorder. As he ponders over his notes in the evening, he again talks his comments into the record. His typed record, as well as his photographs, may both be in miniature, so that he projects them for examination.
The repetitive processes of thought are not confined however, to matters of arithmetic and statistics. In fact, every time one combines and records facts in accordance with established logical processes, the creative aspect of thinking is concerned only with the selection of the data and the process to be employed and the manipulation thereafter is repetitive in nature and hence a fit matter to be relegated to the machine. Not so much has been done along these lines,beyond the bounds of arithmetic, as might be done, primarily because of the economics of the situation. The needs of business and the extensive market obviously waiting, assured the advent of mass-produced arithmetical machines just as soon as production methods were sufficiently advanced.All else he should be able to turn over to his mechanism, just as confidently as he turns over the propelling of his car to the intricate mechanism under the hood. Only then will mathematics be practically effective in bringing the growing knowledge of atomistics to the useful solution of the advanced problems of chemistry, metallurgy, and biology. For this reason there still come more machines to handle advanced mathematics for the scientist. Some of them will be sufficiently bizarre to suit the most fastidious connoisseur of the present artifacts of civilization.
The applications of science have built man a well-supplied house, and are teaching him to live healthily therein. They have enabled him to throw masses of people against one another with cruel weapons. They may yet allow him truly to encompass the great record and to grow in the wisdom of race experience. He may perish in conflict before he learns to wield that record for his true good. Yet, in the application of science to the needs and desires of man, it would seem to be a singularly unfortunate stage at which to terminate the process, or to lose hope as to the outcome.
