Life in cyber space and the invisible network
- Emerging Complexity (life is no more simple) Space time compression
- Life in Networks (Social networks where everything is connected)
- Matrix of Cyberspace (electronic networks and world of hypertext)
- Multiple Self (issue of identity)
- Alternate Realities (issue of place)
- Device addicted culture
- Translating the experience of such a networked society into an installation by designing datascapes as human console systems and connecting those to each other as nodes in the network. Explain the evolution of these datascapes from hard core wire system to continuous and then discrete data vessels, the introduction of human agent and the adaption of a group behavior by a rule set of proximity and content itself.
Media overload and the visual rhetoric of war
- Building the argument that we are living in an age of media overload of both text and image and the proposition that this new media could be used to create rhetoric of war as an instrument of anti war activism.
- Post 9/11 scenario and the public opinion on the war of Iraq - the conspiracy theories and the ground facts - the case of wikileaks.com and the release of classified data.
- History of anti war activism in America in particular the protests in the capital. What they have to say and why it is important. The question of total democracy and the right of speech.
- Defining the new media of e-mails, blogs, cell phones, instant messaging, digital cameras, a global internet, hand-held video camera, 24-hour news broadcasts, satellite television and its possible integration into one system.
- The application of this new media theory in the project and the systematic proliferation of information relating to war from around the world to one ground base that is The Pentagon.
