Media Files # -*- mode: org; coding: utf-8; -*- * notes from chat w. femke misc. - embodied tools - tools as mechanisms for thought > process - tools as collaborator rather than instrument - reflexive use of tools - requirement / necesity for 'friction' - position statement -> sketching in afternoon context - design as problems of collision (rather than problem solving or 'conflict resolution) - collision of source materials -> versioning & conflict resolution - collisoin "resolve" or "make interesting" - heterogeneous systems -> unix pipes metaphor - role of metaphor adoption from print -> computing, computing -> computing, etc - 'forgotten' or mistranslated metaphors - repreasenation of 'the page' in software -> where else - ideology vs. pragmatism -> FLOSS positioning/purity/debate questions / problems - context -> how to make more apparent/accesible - metaphors in use - print/design -> computing / unix -> design - what new mataphors? 'forgotten' or lost in translation? - tangible systems -> (qfwfq/metaphor) - connecting incompatible or partially compatible parts -> friction - toola as collaborators -> conversational interaction models - how to 'sketch' tools -> prototyping / accupuncture / pollination - document formats -> programmes -> VB Macro virus in Word -> 'generative' documents frictions - pipes -> API -> ORB - historic examples / other paths -> e.g. symbolics concordia, metafont, etc refs and misdirdections - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDoc - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipeline_(Unix) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Object_Request_Broker_Architecture - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orphaned_technology - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compound_document - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolics_Document_Examiner - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinrich_Cornelius_Agrippa - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epimetheus_(mythology) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_Lib - burroughs/gysin - 3rd mind - http://realitystudio.org/bibliographic-bunker/apo-33/ - dream machines ("a minority report") - ted nelson - agrippa -> book * preludes & summaries - a discussion of preludes and summaries - complexity best understood in reverse - importance of metaphor, problems with binary 'is/not' -> using 'is' to mean a metaphor -> rewording the 'is' of perception - technology is Promethian -> Epimetheus, brother of prometheus (hindsight, afterthought, foolishness) - summary - computers are performance machines built out of metaphor - metaphors direct our creative practice, (eg. git tree, file system, copy/paste, pipes) - document or application centric views may be problematic. suggestions; more metaphors, assemblages, components, autopoetic pseudo-objects - we can see the tools we use as extensions of ourselves (literally) as collaborators, contrarians, etc. - complexity emerges out of interaction and assumptions - importance of looking backward as well as forward - from mute systems -> conversational systems - find ways to make context more apparent. material, ephemera and objects. - 3 stage exercize - 1. image selection. "what tool is this?" and "how can this tool work with other tools?" - 2. groups ~5. explain each tool in circle, explain how they can work together, single shared metaphor - 3. group of representatives of each group. repeat with shared metaphors. - introduction - questions?
