On Media Response

I found this lecture easier to digest than the previous one. The way the author describes and analyzes the media from painting to film is smooth and easy to read. I agree with the author when he says that any art work is a communication process and places art in the category of a language as well. Because we are communicating while doing art, we can express feelings and be clear if they are full of happiness or anger. As the culture evolves, the art does too. Art is always evolving, changing and adding new media and technology for their expression. In my opinion, the use of all resources to express art, including technology, is valid. I agree with the author when he said “The new cultural mythos is a mapping out of human society that is extended into its technology and in a sustained symbiosis with that technos.” (120) See below two pieces I found. the first one is an illustration from Flammetta Ghedini, an artist interested in merging of perception, technology and art. In the illustration she points that men first learn that we do not live in a flat planet but in a round one.... However, it is not a round planet anymore; because we live in several worlds at the same time, referring to all the information surround us at all times. Click here to see Illustration

The second piece is a funny video I found in youtube. I have no idea who the singer is and if it is good or bad, popular or not... What called my attention was "The cast were selected from the actual Sour fan base, from many countries around the world. Each person and scene was filmed purely via webcam", and the way they edited to create the spot:
