21	SPEED AND RESOLUTION IN THE AGE OF TECHNOLOGICAL REPRODUCIBILITY TAYLOR, SHAWN 01 January 2015 (has links) The rate of acceleration of the biologic and synthetic world has for a while now, been in the process of exponentially speeding up, maxing out servers and landfills, merging with each other, destroying each other. The last prehistoric relics on Earth are absorbing the same oxygen, carbon dioxide and electronic waves in our biosphere as us. A degraded .jpeg enlarged to full screen on a Samsung 4K UHD HU8550 Series Smart TV - 85” Class (84.5” diag.). Within this composite ecology, the ancient limestone of the grand canyon competes with the iMax movie of itself, the production of Mac pros, a YouTube clip from Jurassic park, and the super bowl halftime show. A search engines assistance with biographic memory helps our bodies survive new atmospheres and weigh the gravities that exist around the versions of an objects materiality. Communication has moved from our vocal chords, to swipes and taps of our thumbs on a screen that predicts the weather, accesses the hidden, invisible, and withdrawn information from the objects around us, and still ducks up what we are trying to say.

22	Good Game Blake, Greyory 01 January 2018 (has links) This thesis and its corresponding art installation, Lessons from Ziggy, attempts to deconstruct the variables prevalent within several complex systems, analyze their transformations, and propose a methodology for reasserting the soap box within the display pedestal. In this text, there are several key and specific examples of the transformation of various signifiers (i.e. media-bred fear’s transformation into a political tactic of surveillance, contemporary freneticism’s transformation into complacency, and community’s transformation into nationalism as a state weapon). In this essay, all of these concepts are contextualized within the exponential growth of new technologies. That is to say, all of these semiotic developments must be framed within the post-Internet sphere. platform capitalism surveillance video games social media the dromosphere Ziggy Advertising and Promotion Management American Film Studies American Literature American Material Culture American Popular Culture Art Practice Audio Arts and Acoustics Book and Paper Business Analytics Business and Corporate Communications Business Intelligence Contemporary Art Cultural History Digital Humanities Diplomatic History Ethics and Political Philosophy Fiction French and Francophone Literature French Linguistics Game Design Graphic Design Illustration Industrial and Product Design Interdisciplinary Arts and Media Labor History Management Information Systems Marketing Nonfiction Other American Studies Other Business Other Film and Media Studies Philosophy of Mind Photography Poetry Political History Public History Sculpture Social History Technology and Innovation Television Theory and Criticism Visual Studies
