Create a list of things i remember people have said to me about me.

  • I have been from different country and with a different background. I have crossed social norms of what a man should be, I have high heals, lipstick in a box next to my bed. I was betrayed by my family for loving a another man, beaten by my best fried.

It is going to be a print that i will make just black text of all the things people have said to me about me

it will be embossed in to a paper. the text will be done digital and transferred in to a copper plate by using shadow gram technique. The sutobotography lies in whats not been told in the print. it will be about me about shown in a secret yet openly.

Thoughts on the reading

In what ways to some games reinscribe (ie make it seem natural by so much repetition) rather arbitrary gender roles?

  • give male characters the ability to do things the woman character cant do like smoke or been the leader of  the game, the male characters are normally depicted as with lot of masculinity and less emotion.

Why do games geared to adolescent boys have such strong gender stereotypes?

  • so there is a good way to market the product as a stereotypical male game

What biological phase are these boys going through?

  • trying to find there own identity

What is the danger if they do NOT adopt gender stereotypes but pursue alternate gender definitions for either women or men?

  • nothing really the human society and the human been is a complex system that there don’t need to have definition on all things.

Pick a game that begins to questions gender roles for women and for men (these can be two different games) and describe how they challenge stereotypes.

  • Sims- you can create a male that looks famine or put make up on. same way you can create a female character that could be the breadwinner.
  • Eidos Interactive, Tomb Raider- she has a role of a leader, adventures and a person who would kick ass any one who mess with her.

1-What are some of the reasons for a surge in digital autobiograpical production from “home pages” to “wearcams”?

  • The technologies, global village, people have the ability to transfer their “life story” in to a much richer video environment from the “my diary”.

2-What is the role of autobotography vis-a-vis technology’s “narcotic effect”?

  • I think people have been addicted to the technology so much that their lives are online for Evey one to see and that is what i think is the effect.

3-Jennicam gives us an example of the pleasures of self-disclosure, Mann’s WearCams give an example of the dangers of surveillance. Are there dangers in Jennifer Ringley’s work (or similar projects)? And what might those dangers be? Conversely, are there any pleasures in Stephen Mann’s WearCams?

  • Yes there is always dangers in life. disclosing the life cycle of one person gives others opportunity to  get information and pleasures with out her knowing.
  • yes pleasure of security

4-Explain how 2 of the blogging projects reshapes our sense of self, life, or writing.

  • Blogging A Birth: It is about what people like, some use tumbler to see a story in pictures, some video and some words. we have our own world of nitpicking that we like to do. what we eat what we read. this is a form of expression that the user like.
  • Ralph Moore, Sentence: whats written about our self the truth or the perception of our own self. what kind of eye did we use to make a discretion about our self. what are we and who decides what we are.

5-Pick one of the “moving self-portraits” and explain how the project evokes the mystery of our contemporary lives. What kinds of issues does the portrait raise?

  • Nobody Here: what we do is questioned in this work. We are stuck inside to a screen looking and typing our life and not living.

6-Katherine Hayles speaks of the “post-human” in describing the cyborgian entities we have become. How do the artists of this chapter create autobotographies of this “post-human” cyborg? Consider, for example Life Sharing and [phage].

  • what is considered to be cyborg ?, It is norm that we have a facbook page, it is norm that we own a computer. what will we be in ten years can we be just hooked in to a computer, will our lives be a virtual reality. every day our digital foot print is made bigger not just by us but by others. our life is recoded what we buy, what we see, what we do. Google knows how to change their ads to suit your taste. they have created a digital life of me.

7-How do digital artists examine the commodification of the self? How has the self become another consumer good, or how does a human being get reduced to a “consumer”? Which digital projects raise theese questions and how do they do it?

  • I saw a advertisement for CK where the people are naked. we are not buy him or her or we are not trying to be him or her or are we. The product is not just about the product any more there are billions spend on advertisements to change peoples mid to make them buy or feel like they lack some thing. can we live with out a 42 screen led tv ?

8-Describe the autobotography of “invented selves” or avatars. How do Female Extension and Darko Maver raise questions about the nature of digital selves. Why do they use invented selves and what are the reasons for doing so and the effects of their choices?

  • we can be who i want to be, i get the power of been who i really want. i can be a women i can be a airmen. some of the effects are loosing of self identity, living in an illusion. the question should be asked when you talk about invented selves why invent them, will it help. i see it as an extension of ones self, if one person is not happy about the gender they can try out a different gender by creating a identity digitally that could help.

1. Describe the difference between Political Design and Hacktivist Art. Use an example of each and describe how that work fits the category of design or art.
  • Political design is more about expressing a view on a political sand. one example is the french revolution. It is about showing who you are and how you are effected by the political problem.
  • Hacktivist art is more about expressing am emotional point of one person or a group. one example is the hacking of the bank of America by the group anonymous. It is about been stealth and doing some thing against the norm system.

2. What does execution mean? How does it relate to computers (ie .exe files). What are some example of executable art? How is execution different from representation? In other words how does each relate to the media paradigms of one-to-many vs many-to-many?

  • Execution means starting of a process. In the computer world it relates to executing a set of command. Strengthening community through interactive street art (NOLA resilience part 2) by Artist Candy Chang. The artist look at the property into a sort of collective performance-art piece in which all are invited to participate, simply by declaring what is important to them. interactive art is different from representation because it is not about the artist but about the use of the artwork. it is about a many to many relationship.

3. Why do you think Hacktivist artists find themselves hacking capitalist and political structures that most other people revere? What problem or dangers do they see in these forms of power? Use sample projects to answer this question.

  • Hacktivist artists in my opinion is not just about hacking the capitalist or the political structure they re the people who want to revolutionist the world by pushing the norm. it is about the limitations that they see to express them self that they see as the dangers. eat love budapest by marije vogelzang is a multisensory performance project and experience, bringing together two strangers for the intimate act of sharing food and being fed. the project emphasizes the individuality and beauty inherent in the life of each person. i see it has a great Hacktivist project where the artist try to bring back close relationship with food and each other.

4.How do hacktivists confirm McLuhan’s prediction that the ‘nation-state’ wold not survive the advent of electronic media? Do hackitvists challenge or question any critical policies of nation-states? Does their practice suggest any alternatives to the nation-state? Or why are they not really concerned about anarchy?

 

 

Cigarettes that heal you

Cigarettes have been one of the worlds most additive an harmful product.
People get addicted because of effects of nicotine in the blood stream. Nicotine immediately stimulates the adrenal glands to release the hormone epinephrine. This increases levels of the neurotransmitter dopamine, affects the brain pathways that control reward and pleasure.For many tobacco users, long-term brain changes induced by continued nicotine exposure result in addiction—a condition of compulsive drug seeking and use, even in the face of negative consequences.

The worst part of smoking cigarettes are the other chemicals responsible for most of the severe health consequences of tobacco use. Tobacco smoke is a complex mixture of chemicals such as carbon monoxide, tar, formaldehyde, cyanide, and ammonia—many of which are known carcinogens. Carbon monoxide increases the chance of cardiovascular diseases. Tar exposes the user to an increased risk of lung cancer, emphysema, and bronchial disorders.

For this most of the public places have band the use of tobacco like University of Maine. Some of the treatments for tobacco addiction are behavioral treatments, and replacement for the nicotine.

As a social and self hacktivism i will be creating a placebo cigarettes from green tea.
Green tea have been know to have lot of strong antioxidants that can help reduce the effect of smoking on lung cancer and to create better immune system.

The project is intend to be installed in a see though case, inside will be a real looking cigarette and information on the effects on smoking rolled up in to a long scroll. Out side the box will have “In case of Emergency” written in red. the boxes are to be hanged outside the library the union in the finales week where most people are stressed and are looking for addictions.

By having a placebo cigarettes they will have resolved their cravings and have not done any damage to the body.

1- What is the structure of Empire? How does this structure relate to Crosbie’s definitions of Broadcast vs New Media?’

  • The Empire is constructed in a way so that the people on top of the power structure has absolutely control over how the Empire is being operated. It is similar to Crosbie’s definition of Broadcast, that the information sender has the absolute control over the content sent to the recipients, as oppose to an equal ground of interactions among senders and recipients. However there have been paces in the word at a time where the empire was built to protect the people.

2-What is the relationship between rampant consumerism and cultural/ecological collapse?

Rampant consumerism comes from the need of people. as our number rise so dose our needs for more consumer goods. when the that raw materials that we use in our day today life docent go back by recycling the ecological collapse occurs. thus the species dies. when we look at it is the perfect cycle of the world.

1-What is changed by the Occupy movement?

2-How is the ccupy movement practicing the use of horizontal power? How does this frustrate the status quo power structures? Is the “People’s Mic” broadcast or network (ie new) media?

  • A movement is created when there is unbalance in the social system. The occupy movement is a examples of a revolution. for that to happen people have accepted the indifference and looks for a better future. There is hope created among the people, the pain of the people is shown. The high ranking people are questioned. the system that makes then the high ranks are questioned.
  • people’s Mic is an broadcast media it is a shout out to every one about the feelings of people.

It is a good concept to think about. one of the things that i dont understand is the university system. I am a student but i have no choice in choosing the things i what to learn. The system is set up so the university is teaching me what is expected the right thing and when i what to learn some thing new i am discouraged some times.
The truth is i am paying to learn something that i what to use in life for my enjoyment and employment.
I know it is a complex system and there are walls that govern, to keep a structure but why do we need that structure why do we need the system.
At the end you and i choose what to use from what we leaned from this education system. with that certificate from a educational institution we go on learning new things that tick our heart. but why not start now and change the out come to things we love creating and not just some thing we create for a class.
