In all honesty, when someone writes an essay that long with language that is above the understanding of a typical American student, it means that the writer is angry about something, is over compensating for something, or both. There had to be an easier and shorter way of explaining his opinion rather than a long…

This reading on agumented space was very interesting. One part in particular that I thought he explained pretty well helped draw the fine line of what is considered virtual reality and agumented reality. From what I understood virtual reality is considered a completely different experience in which you sort of become part of your surroundings,…

That was a very long reading. I was not exactly sure where the writer was going on about. Something about a space within a space or something…or how a space becomes a different kind of space once it’s been introduced by electronic elements and what have you. But yeah, I hope we talk more about…

liked the part when he talked about the two contemporary artists/ figures Janet Cardiff and Daniel Libeskind. it was much more easier for me to understand the statement, “overlaying dynamic data over the physical space.” for me it was hard keeping up with his examples about augmented space. looking at visual examples, like the Jewish…

I thought the reading was very interesting. But the problem I had was his idea of augmented space. This might be because the way the author explained it or me just not really following his examples. I liked how the author used artist works as examples, especially the piece done by Daniel Libeskid, it sounds…

So augmented space can be described anywhere from the data our cell phones receive to the data behind the computer screens we look at? The part of the surveillance and recording of a persons actions kinda scared me. Reminded me of Brave New World, Big Brother stuff. Makes me ask where are we trying to…

Overall I thought the reading was very interesting and thought-provoking. I think the new idea of augmented space is really interesting, yet hard to follow on how exactly it works. The media advertising we see in places such as Time Square is really cool, and I never knew that it came from this idea of…

Modern art is typically a two way street; Its either garbage that anyone with hands and eyes can do or it is revolutionary, unique, requires skill, and exceptional execution. In the latest MCA sculpture exhibit we see the best that modern sculpture has to offer. The artist, Olafur Eliasson demonstrates geometric precision with various materials…

I think this is very interesting how animated characters evolved from being simple to something that could recognize and interact with the viewers…creepy but AMAZING at the same time!!! Hanslee Garcia –

i think this is really cool…its updating the mouse and key pad! Hanslee Garcia –

I found the article by Lev Manovich very interesting. He basically talks about the technological reality we live in and how it effects our lives as humans. I liked the part where he defined the three ways that technology augments reality; video surveillance translating the physical world into data; cellular space translating the digital world…
