Firstly i thought iCinema was amazing, I loved every bit of the experience. I felt as if I was instantly transported to another place. Something that is unreal became instantly real. I question these thoughts and concepts because it's so crazy how displaced i felt yet i loved it.
The advanced mediatized technology and sound scape really evoked a sense of realness and liveness which related to Auslander's reading. I could relate to his points on the effects of media and how it's live. It transports you! I was so present in the city traveling scene that i had to sit down as I felt motion sickness. I was so amazed at the fact i had a physical experience and had to sit down.
The artistic and creative aspects of the projects really inspire me they all are so innovative and different, from the rain forest to the T Visionarium to the Wooster Project they all incorporate media in a different way to project something very real and present.
Truly awesome experience!!!

The future of television! (I hope anyway) :)
ReplyDeleteI thought the icinema was absolutely amazing! You were transported to places you've never been before, instantly and it felt like you'd transcended time and space within seconds. It opened my eyes to all the exciting possibilities that advanced mediatized technologies have to offer.
The sense of liveness was incredibly convincing; imagine watching a horror film in the icinema - you would dead set feel as if you were the pray and victim of it all! How exhilerating would that be!
Definately an experience i will remember!
