I was reading 'Deleuze and Guattari, A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia' and couldn't resist sharing this particular chapter 'The Smooth and the Striated'. There's a lot more under this chapter in the book but shared the best of it. It's about smooth vs striated in a manner like local vs global or becoming vs progress or like minor...
With no warning one weekday morning, investigators entered an organic grocery with a search warrant and ordered the hemp-clad workers to put down their buckets of mashed coconut cream and to step away from the nuts.
Then, guns drawn, four officers fanned out across Rawesome Foods in Venice. Skirting past the arugula and peering under crates of...
The Singularity is the technological creation of smarter-than-human intelligence. There are several technologies that are often mentioned as heading in this direction. The most commonly mentioned is probably Artificial Intelligence, but there are others: direct brain-computer interfaces, biological augmentation of the brain, genetic...
So, Were in the age of computers and technology.
We are having to expand out language and adapt.
It will be harder for non local and alien residents when they move or try to work and interact with others VIA the internet with all sorta of slang being made up to understand technology and the computer.
I feel like we need to create ...
Y'all are going to have to help out with this one. I certainly don't have all the answers.
So I see this tree, and I think I can climb it. I don't know this absolutely, but at a glance it seems more likely than not. Nor do I know exactly how I will do it; I can't yet see how I will surmount it's limbs using my own. But I do know how I intend to...
Pop music is an elevated art form. Its mode of expression is often shifting, and it has a high turn over rate, yet within this context there are plenty of forms of musical sustenance.
There are certainly some credible pop musicians, who can exist as nothing but "pop" (e.g. Seal, Maroon 5, Savage Garden, et al. -- and these even have...
Okay, here it is SpaceCollective....
The new era. WE are living in an INCREDIBLE TIME-how lucky are we?? We get to witness change unlike anything humanity has seen before. (myb & Hopefully survive it)
[I like to try to write sorta sloppy-it shows the internet fad at the time in terms of communication VIA technology. ]
What is (do you...
A human's ability to tackle issues and problems is fundamentally driven by thought patterns. Often we manipulate objects mentally before applying the physical actions thus different approaches to thinking through a problem herald varying physical actions. Moreover when we fail to provide a solution, rethinking our plan is often the remedy. This...
People are communicating in the long tail.
The long tail is basically the the niche market leveraged by digital technology. The efficiency, and in particular the spatial efficiency, of a digital network liberates retail from the "tyranny of the physical," resulting in a profitable business model for selling obscure products. In the...
It is incredible how something like this exists.
you know-we are a bright generation. trying to make use of and hold onto technology and the internet. Sometimes i ask myself why, is this good? (whats good and bad..etc)
we all want to change the world. be better. be remembered. but how do we create REAL conscious and social change???
this...
So different?.... Mabye in some ways but it isnt that far from each other, What science does is look for answers, grow and understand, same with art, art is something that we can express ourselves through understanding why we are here, art isnt something that is just done, we grow and understand why we are here, we think through geometric thoughts...
Via tackling the fallacy of objectivity I am raising important points about rationality, reality, and subjectivity.
Objectivity is a fallacy because if a human removes himself or herself from his or her emotions and perceptions the human then ceases to be human. It is simply not possible to be objective. Emotions are essential for higher brain...
Just found this collection of links, thought it was interesting though I wonder to what extent future music design needs to depart from its wear techno on the outside roots any time soon!
