NEW MEDIA & REALITY: Learning Process

Posted on October 24, 2004 by Susan

At some point of frustration with one’s own lack of knowledge, it is often a wise choice to stop at the fork and consider not running wildly further into the woods. Mapping is tedious, yet vital, for the way back … Continue reading → Continue reading →

NEW MEDIA & REALITY: Space in Time & Place

Posted on October 24, 2004 by Susan

We skim the surface, skating on the top on winter ice. Dependent upon the depth of knowledge that is frozen into place to carry us along the edges, to the center where the water’s deep and not as deeply known. … Continue reading → Continue reading →

NEW MEDIA: Technical Difficulties

Posted on October 19, 2004 by Susan

Off on another track… And yet, a perfect example of where I’m heading in the previous post; the mind working as a powerful computer network of software programs. After all the whining I’ve done about learning Algebra and now, Statistics, … Continue reading → Continue reading →

REALITY & NEW MEDIA: The Struggle

Posted on October 15, 2004 by Susan
