Letra&Música means Lyrics/Letter&Music. “Letra” means lyrics but also letter in portuguese, referring to typography. “Letra e música” is the way we invoke the author of lyrics and music at the same time. I'm inviting graphic designers and artists to reflect around the theme Designing for the Music Industry. After a brief introduction and discussion it will be given to each participant the same similar base to work on. The “white canvas” is a craft sheet of paper 50x70cms, produced originally as the wrapping paper for the music shop Quebra Orelha (Ear Break), in Portugal. Printed as a background is a simulation of a Google search for images connected with music and ears. Each person will make one or more interventions using various techniques (wood type, drawing, painting, collage, folding, etc). Fell free to bring your own materials. You will have access to wood type, paint, colour paper and more. Digital files can also be provided for computer based work.

This workshop is part of the MA Graphic Design Final Show. It will take place in the exhibition space. Camberwell College of Arts, North building, 1st floor, 45-65 Peckham Road, London, SE5 8UF Please chose from the following dates: 3th September, Saturday, from 12h00 to 5 pm 5th September, Monday, from 11h00 to 4 pm Limited to 8 people per day. RSVP until 25th August

For more information please contact: joana.monteiro@gmail.com

With the support of: Camberwell Letterpress and Quebra Orelha record shop

Hi everyone,

Just a reminder to add email addresses of contacts you may have to the email address that Andrew sent a couple of weeks back ( digitalarts2011@gmail.com). It may make sense to divide the contacts for a variety of purposes…

- Invites for private view. (personal email Id’s of galleries, creative studios, organizations, artists, academics etc.) - General promotion. Blogs and websites that might feature our press release/ flier and link to the show website. - Website promotion. People, galleries etc from around the world who might be interested in seeing our show website.

Matt

Started writing a press release. Would appreciate some help. [] Cheers.

for the graphics people (Monkee, Maya) if you want any of the files from this reel, let me know not got much time but happy to hand over source files with new show name for the designers to use C http://vimeo.com/26652478

looking over the chat log... not sure where to type my name for the job list? was thinking I could be involved in: 'show-build / curation / sending electronic invitations to list of important invitees individually, to avoid their junk folder

David: see link for pics with show up (would have been nice with your panoramic software! : )

Elvia: personal cards tend to generate more work than catalogues, which is why we were unconvinced as to the value of a printed one

sorry I had to leave early, and see you all at 1.30 on Tues. C x ps whoever is collecting an image from each person for the web presence, let us know and those of us who already have images sequences ready can submit to make their job easier. (Some of us have finished images in readiness for business cards, for example).

here are the [|3 missing pics] , down the left hand side of the grid

the show has been taken down and the moveable walls stacked, so the place looks different now

is everyone cool about changing the next online session from Thurs 7 to Wed 6 at 1.30pm?

2 other jobs to go on the jobs list:

blurb co-ordination - Silver fared worse than the gold price yesterday, ( [|silver price per ounce]  ) as it dropped back below the $40 per ounce level. this would entail everyone supplying blurb to one person who would use In Design or similar to ensure constant typeface and layout across everyone's blurb that goes next to their piece - assuming we are having blurb. The BA shows didn't but I think it makes it look more like a professional art exhibition, n'est-ce pas? C

hi all,

ahead of Tuesday's online chat, I am adding a link to my pen sketch [|show blurb]  as per earlier mention, amid show preparations... this is for information only and may be of interest as we all prepare our blurb! I will get feedback at my tutorial on the format but any feedback will be welcome at the session.

also, to all FT and PT2, pls note that the next online session about the show is Tuesday 14 at 1.30pm. It would be great if as many as possible could join. Start a Pronta account via Blackboard, and download Pronta. See you there! C

I really don't understand this. We should meet in UNI to talk about our final show. Pronto should be something for people that do MA online. Probably it would be better to get together all FT and PT2 in Uni and from there be in connection with PT2 online. Honestly I never got communication about the first meeting. Also someone is already speaking about the name of final show must be decided before thursday??? And someone else sent me picture of the space of the final exhibition. I never known we had to decide a space all together and in this moment. And also all these communications are not from Jonathan, so I don't really understand. Can someone explain me. I missed 2 weeks cause I was in Venice for the Biennale and now I am in Basel for the fair...Did I lost so many things?? Gabriele

all will be discussed on Tuesday 21 at the briefing, C x

Hi all, Ai Weiwei needs help. Gabriele

**Release Ai Weiwei - Online petition**

Dear friends, colleagues, art lovers ...

<span style="color: #1c1c1c; font-family: Optima,'Times New Roman'; font-size: 14px;">it's now time to be all together to support a great artist who is now risking not only his own freedom but also his own safety, to defend human freedom. <span style="color: #1c1c1c; font-family: Optima,'Times New Roman'; font-size: 14px;">We hade the chance and the privilege to know him personally, to work with him and we are happy to join the online petition campaign started by **Guggenheim Museum**, and sudden supported by **MoMA**, **Tate**, **Gwanju Biennale**, **AAMD**, calling for the release of **Ai Weiwei**. <span style="color: #1c1c1c; font-family: Optima,'Times New Roman'; font-size: 14px;">The initiative has been taken working closely with Jerome Cohen, the leading Chinese human rights lawyer who is working on Weiwei's case, and who believes that this action could be effective. <span style="color: #1c1c1c; font-family: Optima,'Times New Roman'; font-size: 14px;">To support the petition you can link it on your website, on Facebook and Twitter sites, in order to quickly reach millions of people.

<span style="color: #1b1b1b; font-family: Optima,'Times New Roman'; font-size: 14px;">**GALLERIACONTINUA, San Gimignano / Beijing / Le Moulin** <span style="color: #ffffff; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">TS COU <span style="color: #ffffff; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">NCIL ENGLAND DECISION <span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"> <span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">I received this by email, from the onedotzero newsletter, spread the word if you can.

<span style="color: #0000cc; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">" <span style="background-color: initial; color: #0000cc; font-family: arial,sans-serif;"> onedotzero <span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"> has received news from <span style="background-color: initial; color: #0000cc; font-family: arial,sans-serif;"> arts council england  <span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"> [ACE] that we will have ALL our funding completely cut from 2012 onwards. many other digitally directed organisations face the same fate and our thoughts are with those colleagues, friends, and partners – many leaders in their field.

<span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">onedotzero won’t be going but it will inevitably have to change. we will still deliver our <span style="background-color: initial; color: #0000cc; font-family: arial,sans-serif;"> annual festival <span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"> this november at the <span style="background-color: initial; color: #0000cc; font-family: arial,sans-serif;"> BFI Southbank  <span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"> - in our 15th year at the collision of digital arts, culture and entertainment. as many have said we have always been innovative and so must use our strengths and skills to rethink our future slightly differently. change is no bad thing and we feel new opportunities and new ways of doing things lie ahead. we have had super supportive messages from our partners and community. this is something funding cannot touch or stop.

<span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">these cuts have hit vital organizations like <span style="background-color: initial; color: #0000cc; font-family: arial,sans-serif;"> animate <span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">, <span style="background-color: initial; color: #0000cc; font-family: arial,sans-serif;"> mute  <span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">, <span style="background-color: initial; color: #0000cc; font-family: arial,sans-serif;"> lumen  <span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">, <span style="background-color: initial; color: #0000cc; font-family: arial,sans-serif;"> lovebytes  <span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"> and others – effectively a whole tranche of artistic practice, a digital culture that has not been replaced and now not part of the arts councils plans in the uk. **all were told their work is valued – but not enough to be funded it seems**. this is because these hybrid, cross media organisations <span style="background-color: initial; font-family: arial,sans-serif;"> [|Autoversicherung Tarifvergleich] <span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">, their work, audiences and the artists they represent are just not understood by the decision makers at ACE or the establishment.

<span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">there are some great progressive companies that operate in moving image that did receive funding, including <span style="background-color: initial; color: #0000cc; font-family: arial,sans-serif;"> b3 media <span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">, <span style="background-color: initial; color: #0000cc; font-family: arial,sans-serif;"> film + video umbrella  <span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"> and <span style="background-color: initial; color: #0000cc; font-family: arial,sans-serif;"> lux  <span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">. we wholeheartedly congratulate them on securing a future – they should be funded too. they cover a certain area of artistic practice that has only a small crossover with the work <span style="background-color: initial; color: #0000cc; font-family: arial,sans-serif;"> onedotzero <span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"> and others do however.

<span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">not only is this shortsighted it will weaken the arguably leading position uk new media and digital art has on a global stage and the scene that exists here. onedotzero has consistently delivered huge audiences through its festival at the <span style="background-color: initial; color: #0000cc; font-family: arial,sans-serif;"> BFI Southbank <span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">, international and nationwide tours, exhibitions like <span style="background-color: initial; color: #0000cc; font-family: arial,sans-serif;"> decode  <span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"> at the <span style="background-color: initial; color: #0000cc; font-family: arial,sans-serif;"> v&a  <span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">, education and commissioning projects over the last decade and a half.

<span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">**if you have ideas for the future on how we can work together, partner or support our activities, as ever, we are always keen to hear from you.**

<span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">thank you again for your ongoing support of onedotzero, this area of contemporary culture and the great creators we continue to showcase and develop. please show your support and ACE that this is a viable vibrant arts and cultural sector by making this festival the best yet. <span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">to future adventures!

Best, Maya

if anyone fancies a meet-up for the peer learning thing etc we could bring boiled eggs to Hyde Park and maybe instead of patterns we could draw portraits of class mates on them then find a slope to roll them down lol... a bit of Easter fun : )

otherwise maybe get a discussion going on the discussion link about how everyone's project is developing?

not seen anyone for ages but plan to come to some of the open seminars so may see familiar faces! C

If someone is interested we could arrange a visit. The current show is quite nice.

春节快乐! (Happy New Year in Chinese)

this Tuesday 8 February we are going on a visit to 2 galleries not far from Camberwell.

IMPORTANT - afternoon, NOT morning

I have arranged to meet the artist in one of the galleries but it means we will have to meet in the afternoon.

14.30 Tuesday 8 February 2011

meet at the Beaconsfield Contemporary Art Gallery - []

Map link: []

From Camberwell you get bus 436 or 36 to The Oval and then it is a short walk, or get to The Oval tube or Vauxhall Station, then walk.

When we have finished at Beaconsfiled we will walk to the other gallery, which is very close, and meet the artist. This second exhibition is VERY good and you really must see this one!

This is the website of the place where you can laser cut and print 2D and 3D very cheap. On the website you will find all the information you need:

China artist Ai Weiwei's Shanghai studio demolished
The new Shanghai studio designed by Ai Weiwei, a protean artist who is one of the most outspoken critics of the Chinese Communist Party, was completely razed at the order of government officials on Tuesday, Ai said in a telephone interview from Shanghai today to the //New York Times//  ’s Edward Wong. Ai said a neighboring studio he had designed for a friend had also been destroyed. “Everything is gone,” he said. “It’s all black now. They finished the job at 9 PM last night.” It is the latest act in Ai’s escalating conflict with government officials over the Communist Party’s authoritarian rule — a clash that Ai now views as performance art. Ai said he did not know why officials decided to destroy the studios, but suspects it was because of his political activities. He had known about the order to destroy the studios since last July, when construction on the buildings was completed, but was shocked to discover that workers had started the job at 6 AM on Tuesday. Ai said officials had told him earlier that the destruction would not take place until after the first day of the upcoming Year of the Rabbit, which falls on February 3. “I called the officials and said, ‘You promised us not to take it down until after New Year’s Day,’” Ai said. “They said, ‘If the studio is to be taken down, it doesn’t matter if it’s sooner or later.’” Ai added that the officials might have moved ahead with their plans so that the destruction would take place without people knowing about it. Neighbors of the studio called Ai’s assistant on Tuesday morning when they heard heavy machinery next door. Ai said he rushed onto an airplane in Beijing, where he lives, and arrived in time to see four machines and dozens of workers toiling away on the site. About eighty percent of the structures had been destroyed by the afternoon, he said. Shanghai city officials could not be reached on Wednesday evening for comment.

ROTOR review in The Independent: Quite the reverse experience is to be had at the latest Siobhan Davies project. You go expecting something cerebral. You end up, well, if not having a ball, then most thoughtfully entertained. Having built her own handsome studio space in south London, the choreographer has used it not just to create and show her work, but also to orchestrate conversations with other artists, from potters to poets. At the hub of Rotor is a piece by Davies based on a line of dancers perambulating round a central spot, like the hand of a clock. The monotony is broken only when they introduce disturbances which create kinks, dodges and swirls. It's a bracingly simple idea, mesmerising to watch, and it's crucial to see it before other works in the gallery. This way you understand the point of reference of, say, engineer Ben Tyers's silver sculpture which turns on its plinth to appear magically liquid, or Clare Twomey's tableful of unglazed pots, silently weeping in a slow collapse as they struggle to contain the water that's poured into them – a startling metaphor for the cycle of life.By Jenny Gilbert

Volunteers invited to participate in a COGNITIVE DRAWING EXPERIMENT

[|Drawing & Cognition: Self-Portrait Test] from  [|mosheladanga]  on  [|Vimeo].

Drawing & Cognition: Self-Portrait Test from mosheladanga on Vimeo.

As part of the Leverhulme Trust Drawing and Cognition research project ( []  ), the Research Section at Camberwell College of Arts is establishing a list of potential volunteers for a series of experiments starting in November 2010.

Tests involve drawing while wearing an eyetracker, as shown in the picture. For this particular series of tests we are including the one in the video above, a self-portrait test.

The process is completely painless and harmless and you will learn how the eye and hand coordinate their actions during drawing.

Tests will take place at Camberwell College of Arts, Wilson Road, with each test lasting around an hour. There are no particular skills or experience required, we welcome anybody, from professional artists to 'never drawn before'.

If you are interested, please contact Moshe Ladanga at:

 * CALL FOR PAPERS!**


 * Wednesday 10 - Thursday 11 November 2010**


 * London, venue TBC**

In recent decades the traditional practices of Art History have come increasingly under attack. This has led to changes so extreme that some have talked of the 'death of Art History'.

The CHArt 2010 Conference wishes to explore the role of digital technologies in the disruption of Art History and the profound changes in the way that we display, consume and study art.

In 1985, when CHArt was founded, new technologies only had a minimal impact on Art History. Twenty-five years on they have transformed the entire artistic process, from the creation and presentation of art, to its reception, dissemination and research. Reflecting on these changes, we will consider how Art History has evolved and in what ways digital technologies will continue to affect and transform the discipline in the future. The conference programme will include a panel discussion with invited experts.

This year CHArt is looking for papers that examine the impact of digital technology on a range of issues including:


 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Ownership, authorship, collaboration and re-use
 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Access and participation
 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Globalisation, communication and dissemination
 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Research
 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Pedagogy and teaching
 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Conservation and preservation
 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Commissioning, curation and documentation

<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We welcome contributions from all sections of the CHArt community: art historians, artists, architects and architectural theorists and historians, curators, conservators, scientists, cultural and media theorists, archivists, technologists, educationalists and philosophers. Postgraduate students are encouraged to submit a proposal. CHArt is able to offer assistance with the conference fees for up to three student delegates. Priority will be given to students whose papers are accepted for presentation. An application form and proof of university enrolment will be required. For further details about the Helene Roberts Bursary please email <span style="background-color: initial; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> anna.bentkowska@kcl.ac.uk <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">. <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Submissions should be in the form of a 300-400 word synopsis of the proposed paper with brief biographical information (no more than 200 words) of presenter/s, and should be emailed to <span style="background-color: initial; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> chart@kcl.ac.uk <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> by **Tuesday June 8th 2010**.

**Anna Milsom: ‘Thick’ translation and the multimodal artefact** ===== Wed 26th May| 2-4pm | Large Seminar Room Camberwell College of Arts, Wilson Road, London SE5 8LU

A talk by Anna Milsom (Senior Lecturer in Applied Translation at London Metropolitan University) //In her PhD thesis Anna Milsom approached the use of multimodality in a way which opens up exciting possibilities for the presentation of layered material, not only proposing a challenging solution to the thesis itself, but also suggesting an alternative to a linear presentation of text. Her work will be of great interest to all those engaged in questions regarding ‘what a thesis might look like’ as well as for creative writers/artists.//

Professor Paul Coldwell +++ This talk describes the unexpected route towards multimodality which was taken over the course of my PhD research. The focus of the project was the analysis and translation of folktales by the Cuban ethnographer Lydia Cabrera (1900 – 1991). In all, Cabrera published twenty two books which provide a unique insight into Afro-Cuban religions and customs. Her tales actively embrace hybridity - as narratives they straddle a range of oppositions being both oral and written, singly and multiply authored, ethnographic fact and literary fiction. The complexity of translating such texts into English led to a desire to offer translations which might move beyond the traditional format of a written text in one language standing in the place of a written text in another. Research undertaken in the archive at the University of Miami was pivotal. The archive contains a vast collection of Cabrera’s notes, doodles, photographs and drafts. Slowly, Cabrera herself and the whispered presence of her Afro-Cuban informants became audible, and the idea of presenting multiple layers of text emerged. Drawing on a range of disciplines, an interactive DVD, underpinned by the notion of ‘thick translation’ (Appiah 2000), was developed. This final form of the project aimed to make all the participants involved in Cabrera’s tales visible; the writer, her informants, myself as translator, and the reader as active participant.

Hi all, Just wanted to give a heads up on a few things happening May 1st. Being the SF junkie that I am I randomly came across this possibly interesting tid-bit that might be worth checking out. The Sci-Fi London (Film Fest) is hosting a series of panel talks around the theme of ‘Life in 2050’ and one of the talks in the programme is about what the art scene will look like in 2050.

// **Date, Time & Location:** // // **May 1, 2010 | 5:45pm |** //

//Talk Title:// // **“** //// **MY FRIEND WENT TO 2050 AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS INDECIPHERABLE MIXED-MEDIA POST-POSTMODERNIST METAPHOR”** // // Talk Description: // // What will the arts scene look like in 2050? What new (or old!) forms and mediums will be grabbing the headlines, filling our homes and galleries and concert venues and mobile devices? And how will their creators be making a living from it? // // Chair: Paul Graham Raven //

// **Philip Palmer** //// is a screenwriter, radio dramatist, film producer and novelist. He has written three science fiction novels: Debatable Space, Red Claw and Version 43. // // Archie Tait //// is a cinéaste and producer, who has worked as a pioneering film distributor and scheduler, and also as a television producer and executive producer of a staggeringly large and diverse body of work. //// **Paul Prudence** //// is an artist and real-time visual performer working with computational and visual feedback systems and video. He is a lecturer in visual music and synaesthetic art. //// **Nico Macdonald** //// is focused on the way that computing and the network are tied in with changes in social life, working and professional practice, and how design and innovation can shape organisations. //

For more info link to: [] I unfortunately won’t be able to make it out to this as I will be showing support at the London Biennale which is also worth checking out. The opening of the art fair is scheduled for 5:00pm (May 1) at Soho Square in Central London. From 6:00pm onwards on the same day: ‘congenial conversations’ in the Angel Pub beside St. Giles Church, behind the tall Centre Point Building on Tottenham Court Road in Central London.

**Lev Manovich** **iPad: Interface Metaphors in 2010**April 6, 2010

In the 1980s, GUI was justified using a simplistic idea that since computers are unfamiliar to people, we shoud help them by making interface “intuitive” by making it mimic something users are already well familiar with – the physical world outside of a computer (which in reality was an office environment with folders, desks, printers, etc.) Surprisingly, even in 2010 – when “born digital” generations start using computer devices even before they ever set their feet in any office – this idea is still used to explain GUI. For example, Apple iPhone Human Interface guidelines (March 2010) advise developers: “When possible, model your application’s objects and actions on objects and actions in the real world. This technique especially helps novice users quickly grasp how your application works. Folders are a classic software metaphor. People file things in folders in the real world, so they immediately understand the idea of putting data into folders on a computer.” The irony of this statement is that these Interface guidelines are also aimed at the developers of iPad - which clearly represents yet another step in migration from the world of physical print to all-digital environment. (This is a newer version, like a volume 2 of the essay below.)

Best, **Maya**

Lev Manovich From Sketchpad to iPad (from the new expanded version of Software Takes Command currently in preparation) April 3, 2010

I started putting Software Takes Command book together in 2007. Today is April 3, 2010, and I am doing final edit on the book's second chapter called "Understanding Metamedia." Today is also an important day in the history of media computing (which starts exactly 40 years ago with Ivan Sutherland’s Sketchpad) - Apple new tablet computer iPad went on sale in the U.S. During the years I was writing and editing the book, many important developments both made Alan Kay’s vision of a computer as the “first metamedium” more real – and at the same time more distant. (I am referring in particular to the text in Alan Kay and Adele Goldberg, Personal Dynamic Media, IEEE Computer. Vol. 10 No. 3, March, 1977. At the end of this article, Kay and Golderg call computer “a metamedium” whose content is “a wide range of already-existing and not-yet-invented media.”)

The dramatic cuts in the prices of laptops and the rise of netbooks – together with the continuing increase in the capacity and decrease in price of consumer electronics devices (digital cameras, video cameras, media players, monitors, storage, etc.) brought media computing to even more people. With the price of a netbook many times smaller than the price of a digital TV set, the 1990s arguments about the “digital divide” became less relevant. It became cheaper to create your own media than to consume professional TV programs via industry’s preferred mode of distribution. More students, designers and artists learned Processing and other specialized programming and scripting languages specifically designed for their needs – which made software-driven art and media design more common. Perhaps most importantly, most mobile phones became “smart phones” supporting internet connectivity, web browsing, email, photo and video capture, and a range of other media creation capabilities – as well as the new platforms for software development. For example, Apple’s iPhone went on sale on June 29, 2007; on July 10 when the App Store opened it already had 500 third-party applications. According to Apple statistics, on Marc 20, 2010 the store had over 150,000 different applications and the total number of application downloads reached 3 billion.

At the same time, some of the same developments strengthened a different vision of media computing – a computer as a device for buying and consuming professional media, organizing personal media assets and using GUI applications for media creation and editing – but not imagining and creating “not-yet-invented media.” Apple’s first Mac computer released in 1984 did not support writing new programs to take advantage of its media capacities. The adoption of GUI interface for all PC applications by software industry made computers much easier to use but the same time took away any reason to learn programming. Around 2000, Apple’s new paradigm of a computer as a “media hub” (or a “media center”) - a platform for managing all personally created media - further erased the “computer” part of a PC. During the following decade, the gradual emergence of web-based distribution channels for commercial media, such as Apple iTunes Music store (2003), internet television (in the US first successful service was Hulu publically launched on March 12, 2008), e-book market (Random House and Harper Collins started selling their titles in digital form in 2002) and finally Apple iBook store (April 3, 2010), together with specialized media readers and players such as Amazon Kindle (November 2007) have added a new crucial part to this paradigm. A computer became even more of a “universal media machine” than before – with the focus on consuming media created by others.

Thus, if in 1984 Apple first Apple computer was critiqued for its GUI applications and lack of programming tools for the users, 2010 Apple iPad was critiqued for not including enough GUI tools for heavy duty media creation and editing – certainly a step backward from Kay’s Dynabook vision. The following quite from iPad review by Walter S. Mossberg from Wall Street Journal was typical of journalists’ reactions to the new device: “f you’re mainly a Web surfer, note-taker, social-networker and emailer, and a consumer of photos, videos, books, periodicals and music—this could be for you.” New York Times’ NYT's David Pogue echoed this: “The iPad is not a laptop. It's not nearly as good for creating stuff. On the other hand, it's infinitely more convenient for consuming it - books, music, video, photos, Web, e-mail and so on.”

Regardless of how much contemporary “universal media machines” fulfill or betray Alan Kay’s original vision, they are only possible because of it. Kay and others working at Xerox PARC build the first such media machine by creating a number of media authoring and editing applications with a unified interfaced, as well as the technology to enable machine’s users to extend its capacities. Staring with the concept which Kay and Goldberg proposed in 1977 to sum this work at PARC (computer as “a metamedium” whose content is “a wide range of already-existing and not-yet-invented media”) in this chapter we will discuss how this concept redefines what media is. In other words, we will go deeper into the key question of this book: what exactly is media after software?

Enjoy! **Maya**

TYPOGRAPHY IN THE TREES 22nd March, Monday - The garden as a three dimensional page (and BBQ lunch) Car Park, Wilson Road 10am - 5pm

The college is making plans to turn some of the car park at Wilson Road into a garden - this is a project that will happen over a long period of time - but the first stage is to inhabit the space.

This project is the first step towards transforming this space by initiating some activity.

We will be building highly visible sculptural typography to be seen from both the school and the street.

Using any found objects, junk and detritus, we will collaborate to develop a three dimensional visual language, that will make the first step in transforming the car park into a new environment. The process will be captured as a film/stop motion animation that will be shown as part of the film marathon on Wed 24th.

code code //Jonathan Barnbrook and his studio have been active since 1990, working across a broad range of disciplines including graphic design, industrial design, typeface design and film. The studio divides its time between commercial work on an international basis for museums and cultural institutions and non- commercial projects. One of Barnbrook Design's most visible forms of activity is in the world of typeface design where they have extended a socio-political view to this often quietly traditional world. Non-commercial collaborations include art directing and producing work with 'Adbusters' the leading activist magazine. In Britain, Barnbrook Design has become very well known as a result of collaboration with major figures in the British art scenes such as the Saatchi Gallery and Damien Hirst.//
