Welcome to the labyrinth

Started at CSM, there's also a book. Hidden & unseen forces that shape communication practice today. Things that are happening now started 40 years ago, so we'll be looking at history. The dude's a writer and an editor Radio 4 on martian utopias

Microsoft 1994: Where do you want to go today? These were the first computers designed to connect to modems

It sums up a world we have gotten used to - mobile computing & connectivity.

'Now you can get four clicks into the organization'

Ovid cataloged every mth that describes a transformation - "Metamorphisis"

'Minos resolved to remove his shame, the moniotair, from his house, and hide it aaway in a labyrinth with blind passageways. Deadalus, celebrated for his skill in architecture, laid our tthe design and confused the clues ro direction and led the eye into a tortuous maze, by the windings of alternating paths'

SOud vision and movement

as different formats become more integrated, we start dealing more in basic categories in sound, vision, and movement Instagram isn't really a set format, theres text, video, sound, things that disappear etc

Interdisciplinary thinkning

Why don't we use communication as a platform to generate interdisciplinary thinking Caroline Edwards

Process as a new form of performance

If we'e no longer dealig with shape (what should typesetting be, what should illustration be), maybe we can get rid of the idea of the fixed outcome book, print etc() as well. Maybe the process can be an outcome in itself.

Modern design is modern thought

IN the 20th century, music was a leader of thought. Now it's design and communication.

Time based interaction, performance is what we're dealing with now. London unreal city

Marshall McLuhann

Without an anti environment, all environments are invisible. The role fo the artist is to create an anti environment as a means of perception and adjustment

For McLuhan, an environment is an invisible set of influences

How do we create an anti evironment

[The blue marble photograph] You look at the photograph as this document of earth being beautiful and fragile, but there's also a hurricane going on. It's the biggest selfie we ever took

[Weird influencer staged what it's like when she gets up in the morning] LIsterne product placement, the pancakes are taco shells, there's no tea in the cup People were screengrabbing this instantly, ie. real time

Kids in front of nightguard No-one in the nightgaurd is looking at each other - what's the difference between that and the kids? Nothing, just different tech.
