New (To Me) Concepts

Interesting ideas that arose from the brief two readings and class discussion today:

• When you use multiple screens in a gallery space, the viewer becomes the editor. They put things together in their own logical order. They have control.

• Relation theory. Entaglement. Everything is connected. Everything affects everything else. For example, the students in a classroom and their engagement (talking, eye contact, nodding, making notes) impacts the flow of discussion from the tutor. Environmental factors such as room temperature influence how well the students can concentrate.

• The idea of post-human. Before, there was only the singular human perspective. Now, we can look outside ourselves. What possibilities does this open up? How will this go further in the future?
