class 3:
  • Futurisme (Futurism): It emphasized dynamism, speed, technology, youth, violence, and objects such as the car, the airplane, and the industrial city.
  • Semiotics the study of signs and symbols and their use or interpretation.
  • Symbolism was a late 19th-century art movement of French and Belgian origin in poetry and other arts seeking to represent absolute truths symbolically.
  • Hilma af Klint (26 October 1862 – 21 October 1944) was a Swedish artist and mystic whose paintings are considered to be among the first major abstract works in Western art history. A considerable body of her work predates the first purely abstract compositions by Kandinsky, Malevich, and Mondrian. She belonged to a group called "The Five", a circle of women inspired by Theosophy who shared a belief in the importance of trying to contact the "High Masters", often through séances. Her paintings, which sometimes resemble diagrams, were a visual representation of complex spiritual ideas.

  • disintermediation: Economics = reduction in the use of intermediaries between producers and consumers, for example by investing directly in the securities market rather than through a bank.

Marshall McLuhan:

  • Herbert Marshall McLuhan was een Canadees filosoof en wetenschapper. Tot zijn belangrijkste werkgebieden behoren mediastudies en mediatheorie. Hij was de grondlegger van het concept global village.
  • Lewis Mumford (1895–1990) were influential 20th-century media theorists and critics of technology, though they differed in their approach. Mumford took a humanist, sociological view, focusing on how technics affect human life and cities (and lowkey thought McLuhan was a bobo), while McLuhan focused on how communication technologies alter sensory perception and culture.
  • Videodrome by David Cronenberg > very much Marshall McLuhan.
  • Understanding Media
  • The Extentions of Man (1964)
  • The Medium is the Message > not saying content is irrelevant, new media introduce a new scale to human affairs.
  • Radio introduced extention of hearing, TV of seeing and the computer the brain
  • The Global Village
  • Media ''hot'' > pacifying and ''cold'' > actifying example: radio. McLuhan thought this was dangerous because it is very strong for mobilizing people. look at nazis, Rwanda.
  • Electric speed > flying, super fast.
  • Warhol: "in the future everybody will be world famous for 15 minutes" > matches global village idea
  • https://www.themediumisthemassage.com/the-film/
  • New medium is always an old medium.
  • I study these things because they irritate or unsettle me > doing something with this is a good motivation.

Paul Virilio:

  • (4 January 1932 – 10 September 2018) was a French cultural theorist, urbanist, architect and aesthetic philosopher. He is best known for his writings about technology as it has developed in relation to speed and power, with diverse references to architecture, the arts, the city and the military. Virilio was a prolific creator of neologisms, most notably his concept of "dromology", the all-around, pervasive inscription of speed in every aspect of life. According to two biographers, Virilio was a "historian of warfare, technology and photography, a philosopher of architecture, military strategy and cinema, and a politically engaged provocative commentator on history, terrorism, mass media and human-machine relations."
  • ''Now the objects preceive us'' - Paul Klee
  • Wassily Kandinsky
  • The Aesthetics of diasappearance (about picnolepsy), Cinema and War, the Vision Machine (-> very visual way of writing, from one scene to another).

The Dromological Revolution:

  • horse as an acceleration of pedestrian speed;
  • carriage with multiple horses as an acceleration of speedy collective transport (goods and people);
  • train as an acceleration of the carriage;
  • plane as an acceleration of the train and automobile;
  • rocket as an acceleration of of the plane;
  • electronic information transfer as an acceleration of physical transportation;
  • photonics as an acceleration of electronic communication. > the real time/immediacy
  • Femke Herregraven

Desert Screen (1991)

  • The image today... is a Weapon in Real-Time
  • Étienne-Jules Marey, study of movement through photography.
  • photographic gun > shooting a pic
  • Colin Powell > known for integrity but lied 2003 US invation of Iraq. Being fed false information? or did he know? Nobody is more convincing than someone who believes hes's telling the truth.

Virilio:

  • "The logical paradox ultimately is the logic of the image in real-time, that dominates the thing represented, in that time, that from now on has priotity over the actual space.
  • The virtuality that dominates the actuality, even breaks down the concept of rcality. This explains the crisis in the traditional (graphic, photographic, cinematographic) forms of public representation.
  • From it benefits a presence, a paradox presence, a tele-presence of the object or essence from a distance, that replaces its own existence, here and now."

STILL THINKING ABOUT DEATH??

  • Kierkegaard’s the sickness unto death is een interessante theologische analyse van dood in het Christendom en over zonde, Bardo Thodol voor het Tibetaans Boeddhistische perspectief, maar voor beide raad ik samenvattingen aan omdat het schrijven nogal dens is.
  • Mortician Caitlin Doughty die praat over het cultureel verwijderen en oppimpen van de dood https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xf73Q3dYvuo.
  • The denial of death van Ernest Becker een super gedetailleerd boek over het ontstaan en ontkennen van doodsangst, al is het heel psycho-analistisch en daardoor meer speculatief dan concreet maar brengt nog steeds super interessante gedachtes met zich mee.
