VR and Taxonomy

The reading feels very pertinent to our feel at this point in time. Mixed media/multimedia/ new media is entering a level of popularity but literacy or even a concise lexicon has not entered the mainstream. This is a highly apparent when I had to write my resume this week. Am I a new media artist a digital systems designer, what? The reason I think that describing our art is that the processes are not apparent. When the painter paints there’s a one-to-one relationship between the active steering paint onto canvas and the act of seeing the paint that is been smeared. The reading makes a good point about the categorization but does not necessarily take into Account the viewers respectability of the process through the product.

As for the video on optical illusion and VR I found it very interesting but was not entirely sure what to take away from it.

I knew exactly what to take away from the AR video but was not sure I wanted to take it.

Finally, This week I started reading ready player one or rather listening to it so that I can actually function. The world it lays forward is super interesting. The physical plays second fiddle to virtual Space.
