some thought about augmented reality (ar) (before and after sxsw) =============================================== 1 ar is localized ar -> {x sub y} 2 ar is interference (googleglass) entanglement 3 ar is distancing (lorenz, ethology, avoidive behavior) in terms of active engagement drawing distinction, 'defoliation' 4 ar is technology- and corporate- dependent capital multiflux jitters, hyper-hyperbole 5 ar is protocol- and codec- dependent codework internalized 6.ar is clever ar is w(W)ired 7 ar has the potential for deep history and deep ecology historiographies 8 ar like tablets creates class distinctions in the school system capital / Kapital 9 ar needs to get rid of external in favor of embedded technologies on the level of the sensory aegis 10 ar is coming whatever one thinks of it: ar is here corporate, ar -> {W} 11 ar may be distancing in terms of passive engagement - think of issues of slaughter, pain, resource consumption, etc. image epistemology, bypass surgery, suture 12 ar will increasingly be independent of technological sophistication on the part of the user autonomic somaticism 13 military drones are the most sophisticated application of ar: why are we not making the connection? tunneling effects, embedded theory 14 w/ googleglass privacy is destroyed: the third person devours the first person transformed into the second person ar will talk not to you but among you 15 does augmentation always improve the quality of our lives? lifeworlds and does it matter? 16 ar is useful in specific situations - say, the location of mines in mine-fields, in surgeries, in situations that involve specificity and deep knowledge deep geographies, geopolitics 17 ar is useful as a demonstration of ar, of what lies behind the ordinary - mark skwarek's erasure of the dmz but what lies behind is digital, truth is problematic, anything may be inserted 18 in this sense ar is highly useful as a symbolic construct or the symbolic 19 and in this sense the recording of ar for others is equally useful as a symbolic construct - it presents the subjunctive potential individual communality beneath the sign of capital 20 ar -> digital over or among analog - what are the phenomenologies here? what are the potentials or dangers, what entanglements, what flows of capital? =============================================== _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
