What will be changed when we can encode and decode spaces as we do language? More importantly, what will be changed when space can encode and decode itself as we do with thought and language? What is enabled by computers manipulating spatial data as we to text?
Writing Restructures Consciousness: Ong describes […] In “Orality and Literacy”, Walter Ong describes the importance of writing as the single most important technological invention in that it transformed human consciousness. Pictographs, exacerbated by Alphabet style writing, dissolved boundaries between real and virtual. Ong asserted that the essential function of writing (Greek system) is to represent sound as a thing. I imagine […] Some of the things that I find most interesting about the prospect of spacial literacy are the ideas of authorship and context within parsable images. Having read “Orality and Literacy” from Walter Ong, I was struck by how the move from static images and representations of space to spatial literacy and manipulatable space actually seems […] This weekend I was in Kansas City visiting my girlfriend’s hometown. We went to a dinner party to meet her friends, hosted in an insanely cool house with a lot of neat mid century modern furniture, old comic books and art—including a Warhol soup can. I was given a tour of the house, which included […] What will change when we can encode spaces as we do language? I think that a language for universal description of spaces already exists. Bitmap images mapped to 3D geometry–and represented digitally–can be used to describe all physical space. Inventing a different means to ideally represent this data is a more significant task than the […] Deutsch’s “The Jump to Universality” raises some interesting questions spatial literacy. Deutsch argues that “a writing system based on an alphabet can cover not only every word but every possible word in its language, so that words that have yet to be coined already have a place in it.” In Deutsch’s model, an alphabet represents […] I’m struck by the parallels between the current state of new technology and the beginnings of cinema. In the earliest decades of film, and well into the 50’s, there was a constant debate around what film was meant to do. No one could ignore the power of cinema to manipulate the emotions of its audience. […] With a reasonable amount of teaching and practice, humans can read and comprehend text fairly easily. However, when it comes to vision we only perceive a small amount of what appears in our field of view. We can recognize the objects and details we focus on, but much of what is contained in our peripheries […] |
