I thought I’d post some musings I had about the Textual Media Experiment on here. I think I’ve settled on one idea (finally).\u00a0 At the outset, I thought about using some of my own writing and creating something along the lines of my body – a wunderkammer<\/em>.\u00a0 However, after looking at Implementation<\/em>, I started thinking about graffiti. One thing led to another, and I started thinking about visual images, images in media, and images in technology. I came to the realization that we’re a culture surrounded by visual images. I then began thinking about photography and how a picture is supposedly worth 100 words. I’m still a bit skeptical, but I thought hey, why not try to prove it? Then, I started thinking about technology and how pervasive technology is in our everyday lives.\u00a0 With that said, I have decided that I’m going to attempt to document how many times I come into contact with technology over the course of one day (or maybe more).\u00a0 I’ll have to carry my camera along with me everywhere I go, but I think it’d be interesting to see just how much of my life revolves around technology. I’m not quite sure what medium I’ll be using, but I’m leaning towards creating something in Flash. I’m still not sure if I’ll be adding text to the work, but I’m definitely going to incorporate some music to go along with the images. This idea isn’t set in stone yet, and I’d really appreciate some feedback about what you guys think.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
