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

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

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...
