3:14 What can be more non-polluting than a human powered bike? Sounds
totalitarian to me, tracking me where I went at what time… Creepy bike
on the bike thing… ?isent that kinda big brother?
Where is the art ?
looks like a visual model too me..
@LooseLatitude No, they’re actually called Captchas and they’re computer
generated. Search wikipedia for “Captcha” to find out more.
Maps are art. They may not be a type of art that interests you, but a great
many artistic decisions go into producing any truly useful map.
@m0nkeybl1tz I liked the clip but the full lecture disappointed. I thought
it was going to be generally about art and technology whereas the full
lecture is about maps. 🙁 I have no interest in maps, unfortunately for me.
I can’t fault Fora for that; I’m just disappointed because as a digital
artist, I was hoping to hear something relevant to what I do.
@nall29 Yes it is.Big Brother is already here.”1984” was a warning.Orwell
worked for British Intelligence and was aware of the long range plan.
ill check back in 20 or so mins. to read the responses to my question. this
is somewhat new to me and im open to peoples opnions
People understands the true, is uplifting to know that once we show how
somethings are not good the human nature comes together to try to change
this fact.
@sydrduke Pretty f’d up right? I was blown away when I first learned of it.
Amazing how it’s right there in front of you and you have absolutely no
idea.
DISCOVERED in the 21stC: The Underlying Law of Nature. The top 3 General
Characteristics of The underlying law of nature are: #1. The Way of All
Things #2. The Basis of All Laws and Principles #3. The Basis of All
Health, Growth, Efficacy and Efficiency Google it – as a start. The
underlying law of nature may be the world’s most useful, profitable and
encouraging knowledge. The empirical process for identifying the underlying
law of nature was discovered in 2008. Soon we may all do so.
1) He didn’t say that the bike pollutes. It collects data on pollution in
its vicinity. 2) Data is sent anonymously. You aren’t being tracked. You
aren’t that important. The government and the corporations don’t care that
much.
And the king of misleading names is….
@LooseLatitude That’s actually pretty scary that that goes on, I had no
idea.
The full lecture is about Maps. >8{ The title is Digital, Life, Design
2010: Maps. How lame. I was hoping it would actually be a lecture on art
and technology rather than friggin maps.
@sydrduke Search “reCAPTCHA”.
Good point sir!
So they make these wheels to sell at a profit. Than use the consumers to
gather data which they will than gain profits on again. You know those
images of words they use to confirm you’re not a computer filling out
masses of forms on the internet? Those are words that were scanned from a
book(digitized books) and didn’t come out all that well. A company makes a
profit on us to figure it out for them. Digital serfdom.
how does the bike collect pollution data?
nice models
@LooseLatitude Woah okay sorry! I stand corrected.
Good information
