 26 Sep 2003 @ 12:41, by Max SandorSome interesting evolutions I saw today on some Italian BLOGs. Starting at my friend Jussi's BLOG William Nessuno, I looked and listened (!) to the RadioBLOG experiment 'The 5 Senses' in which Jussi contributed the 'Vista' (visual) part. Looking further... the icononic drawings were done by Six and on that site you'll find drawings instead of long articles (interesting and enjoyable even if you don't understand Italian). Where would that be leading? Will be all have our own daily-life TV show on the web? Have a lens&mike button in the tie-knot so that everybody can witness what one lives through during the day? Sounds like Big Brother, of course, but it could be a great tool for people to jump out of their box. If one considers that one's own 'normal' experience is typically limited to a few yards of circumference at most, it is education, even liberating, to witness different worlds. I make this sometimes a game, trying to hear the carradio of the car next to me in line or on the freeway, seeing the road from his/her eyes. Really, everyone sees, feels, hears, tastes, and smells something completely different. Even if they are just feets apart. Which leads us back to the RadioBLOG. An experiment where 5 people contributed each a description of one 'sensory perception'. Cool stuff! PS: and, yes, I know, ok, ok, there is now a thing starting up called Audio blogger. Only 12 messages per month, 2 minutes each.. Not enough for full coverage methinks.. BUT who listens more than 2 minutes anyway?? |
