(Week 11) what kind of history? 2

1.4.3 the return of the middle ages and other media archaeologies

This section looks at yet another historicising approach to new meda studies.

Kevin Robins :
- antique and forgotten media from our post - photographic vantage point.

The ludic : cinema and games

Rhetoric and spatialised memory

Edutainment and the eighteenth centuryenlightenment

1.4.4 a sense of deja vu & conclusion

Dejavu based on memory.
"already seen"; also called paramnesia,
is the experience of feeling sure that one has witnessed or experienced a new situation previously .
although in some cases there is a firm sense that the experience "genuinely happened" in the past. Déjà vu has been described as "remembering the future."


-several media historians to record a sense of deja vu
-more recent development has historical and ethnographic research


My simple conclusion,
media artwork was continued all ..by dejavu memory..!

(week 10)what kind of history? 1

1.4.1 teleological accounts of new media


From cave paintings to mobile phones:
In Rheingold historical scheme

From photography to telematics:
extracting some sense from teleologies:
an eight-stage historical model of the progressive development of technologies of image production and transmission

Seeing the limitis of new media teleologies:
from an abstract system of logic, through the development of calculating machines, to the computer as a 'medium'

Foucault and genealogies of new media:
Foucauldian perspective


1.4.2 new media and the modernist concept of progress

- Computer artists come to the instrument from art rather than computer science.(Youngblood 1999:48)
- In the name of 'progress' our official culture is striving to force the new media to do the eork of the old.(McLuhan and Fiore 1967a : 81)
- Deferred future of new media :
because of technological underdevelopment.
:be used and understanding according to older, existing practices and ideas.
-The view of modernist aesthetic
:medium has to be genuinely new from the past and old media


The artists use anything that will help them express their message.
the artist used various media from time to time.
Modern art includes creations that can never be collected, owned, or exhibited in the traditional sense.

(week 9)change and continuity

Palarised over the degree of new media's newness.
Hinges upon the disciplinary frameworks and discourse
'Revolutionary'->Historical perspective


MEASURING 'NEWNESS'
How new? How large change?
We need to establish from what previous states things have changed.

Three Possibilities
1) How can we know that new thing is made from?
2) Familiar in everyday use or consumption
3) Degrees of novelty

Old media in new times?
-New media -> digital TV or IP TV
-Old media -> immersive VR, online, interactive, multimedia


The idea of 'remediation'
Jay Bolter & Richard Grusin
New Media Formulation
1. The digital technologies 'refashion older media'.
2. These older media 'refashion themselves to answer to the challenges of new media'.

New Media
- are not born in a vacuum.
- would have no resources to draw upon if they were not in touch and negotiating with the older media.


Media had changed so natural that we could hardly recognize it .
And constantly changing world and technology.
also media too..
