Week 6: iCinema incursion
My experience involved many sensations and feelings. I automatically felt teleported to the virtual world becoming immersed and interactive with technology.
Following on, when the rainforest visual came up, I could also hear bird sounds which gave me the impression; I’m on a trek walking through nature, imagining the aromas. This relates to Auslander’s theory of liveness, how mediatization awakens the sensory norm. I sat still in awe and wonder, thinking of far technology has evolved and the direction it was going when watching the landscapes of cultural sites, the car travelling, and the selection of entertainment moments. My eyes worked hard just to catch a glimpse of every part of the screen making me feel dizzy though still wanting more. The liveness of this performance conveys and how it fits together with the everydayness of mediatization becoming more naturalised.
