Notes

notes from tutorial November 8, 2010.


Before the tutorial with aymeric, I was considering the different interests that I have, and how to clarify what are the places where magical thinking comes into place in relation to technology, also which subjects am I particularly interested in. One approach would be observing elements of magical belief and elements of technological usage, finding the possible common points.


Things to use when writing:

  • Describe the project and the desired outcome
  • describe some previous projects
  • describe what you want to do
  • describe why you want to do it
  • describe how you intend to achieve it
  • describe the success criteria for this project



If I focus on new magical thinking, or a magical understanding of technology, the goal of this project would be to try and find a way of implementing it into my interest of navigating through information layers in the city.

Some things to look at:

cloud as a metaphor for mystifying data

tantalum chemical components in devices

i-phone suicides

Graham Harwood and his work on hardware energy


  • taking the starting point of repairmen isn't the best analogy for products getting more closed, because it invokes the idea of "good old times" and doesn't show the true picture
