|
| |
| What am I truly interested in?
| |
|
| |
| re-using low (obsolete) tech implementation in new tech
| |
| * work together (compliment or critiques)
| |
| * low-tech & high-tech (remixing / reintroducing)
| |
| * how we can use it within today's frameworks?
| |
| * low tech: what we can open up and understand (?)
| |
|
| |
| Let us think otherwise (or reflect ) on how we use technology today and how it affects us

| thoughts & notes:
| |
| * I am more interested in re-use instead of hacking: amateur, don't have to be an expert electronics (a matter of accessibility)
| |
| * what can yo do with it? how to approach it in a different way that was intended?
| |
| * broken tape simulator? LAME!!!!
| |
|
| |
| ==why?==
| |
| interests
| |
| * chipmusic (production, performing, publishing)
| |
| * lo-fi
| |
| * working with limitations insight in daily processes
| |
| * sharing & teaching "adaptive mentalities"

|
| |
| ===low-tech: insight in inner workings===
| |
| * current blackboxes are hard to comprehend create a distance to understanding technology (agency, authonomy) ?
| |
| * blackbox: inner workings and information technology concealed as a result of technological progress
| |
| * insight reflects on how we use technology today
| |
| * the meaning beyond the nostalgic: exposing the inner workings and potential to appropriate
| |

| * teaching/sharing: developing adaptive mentalities
| |
| * anachronisms

| |
| ** top down: powerusers for Google and Adobe
| |
