| == Media transformations, breaking the DNA ==

| == Introduction ==

| | |
| My interests in research: relationships between different types of perception and representation of information (words, images, sounds etz) The way they reflect information and transform one to another like steam, water and ice. They based on same DNA (information) but take different forms so exhibit different characteristics and attributes. How to keep sense while transformation is based on quite mechanical rules.

| == What are you working on now?==
| |
| Recently I made my first clumsy attempts towards imagining how different types of media could transform one to another, or better to say, how attributes of one media could establish regulations for another. The outcome is an interactive sketch, that renders text into a visual graphic system. The graphical structures are based on the basic text characteristics such as length of sentences and words, word frequencies and punctuation, ratio of vowels and consonants. The question is whether the outcome tends to reflect 'text tune (mood)’ in certain level or its just fictional associations.

| ==What do you want your first project to be?==
| |
| | |
| The starting point for future studies may be a basic system that allows to bring information to its 'originals', zeroes and ones, breake its DNA and construct from this sourse object belongued to other type of media. Text to image, sound to text, moving image to sound without any sort of recognition technologies.

| ==How do you plan to make it?==
| |
| DNA represents a code made up of chemical bases that stores information about an living organism. I was very exited by the resent studies of human DNA and its self reparement mechanisms. I wonder if I have an opportunity to adjust its mechanisms to the 'information DNA'. Experiment with it.
| |
| Nevertheless its just first thoughts based on exitement of sciense descoveries. Besides that I am looking aroud and try to fing inspiration in media studies and researches made in past and those that happens now.

| ==Why do you want to make it?==
| |
| | |
| ==Who can help you and how?==
| |
| | |
| Book tutorials and ask members of staff questions related specifically to your project. Also share knowledge with your peers.
| |
| | |
| == Relation to previous practice ==
| |
| | |
| How does your research connect to previous projects you have done?
| |
| Here you can use the descriptions you made in the first session
| |
| | |
| | |
| == Relation to a larger context ==
| |
| | |
| Meaning practices or ideas that go beyond the scope of your personal work. Write briefly about other projects or theoretical material which share an affinity with your project. For example, if you are researching urban interventions, you might want to research about Situationist approaches to psychogeography, urban tactical media and activist strategies of reclaiming the streets. Or, if you want to explore the way data is tracked, you might touch upon the politics of data mining by referencing concerns laid out by the Electronic Frontier or highlight theoretical questions raised by Wendy Chun or others. (Keep in mind that we are *not* expecting well formulated conclusions or persuasive arguments in the proposal phase. At this juncture, it's simply about showing an awareness of a broader context, which you will later build upon as your research progresses.)

| | |
| == References ==
| |
| | |
| | |
| A list of references (Remember that dictionaries, encyclopedias and wikipedia are not references to be listed. These are starting points which should lead to more substantial texts and practices.) As with your previous essays, the references need to be formatted according to the Harvard method.) See: http://pzwart3.wdka.hro.nl/wiki/A_Guide_to_Essay_Writing#The_Harvard_System_of_referencing

| ''Feel free to include any visual material to substantiate, illustrate or elucidate your proposal. For example use images to reference your work or that of others.''
