The Jesse Schell presentation on bringing gaming into everyday life was quite interesting and somewhat eye-opening. I especially enjoyed his example of fantasy football being a proving point to what he was going to discuss about how easily people become attached to games, which can be as simple or meaningless as fantasy football yet they…

In watching the Jesse Schell video, I definitely thought about how realistic and unrealistic that these sensors and points factor into a person’s life. In finding plausible things with highly advanced technology of the sensors, it is possible for it to happen. I also think it is able to pick up those points. It reminds…

Ashley Villagrana 1) What is plausible about Jesse Schell’s future is that it does sound fun in a economical sense. It does sound possible with technology happening how it is today. Pedometers that earn you activity points on your ipod is actually up and running today. I can see a person getting points for eating…

1)             Jesse Schell in this video brings up a whole slew of different ways that gaming technology is going to affect our physical lives. The most plausible idea that he brings up, I believe, is when he talks about the games on cereal boxes in the beginning of the…

The concept of using data as an art form is not new nor is it exclusive to new media. It’s been found before in mathematics with the idea of fractals as displayed by early computers with added color. The beauty and acidic quality of fractal pieces drew my attention into the world of mathematics where…

The New Media artist I have researched and will present is David Rokeby. He is a Toronto-based artist who began his exhibitions in 1982. Rokeby works primarily with interactive installations and his had his work displayed all over the world. Three works that I focus on is Very Nervous System, Pixel Cube, and Hand-held. I chose…

by Carlos Cuevas After reading Mitchell Whitelaw’s “Art Against Information,” I came to the realization that literally anything and everything can be made into art. I found the process of creating data art particularly interesting. Not only must you fish out the data, you also have to find a way to explicitly morph it into…

Art Against Information In the art against information article we read the author talks about how artists are using various information found on the web and using it as a muse to create various forms of work. One uses breakup blogs as a source, another uses the term “I feel” and others use spam. The…
