what will the unintended consequences be?

yet to find out~

I realised that I have misunderstood McLuhan Equation in the past. hmmm... it's okie. improving day by day~ =D

making use of INTERACTION to tell a message.
That object should have features that prompt Action i.n.t.u.i.t.i.v.e.l.y.
What's made an object intuitive enough to interact without any needs for instructions?

Right now, i don't know.
Just following my Intuition~~

Some sort of patterns:
A knot is designed to be turned.
A button is designed to be pushed.
A bubble-wrap is designed to protect items. but it prompt an urge to squeeze the bubble


I need to work on material and shape which prompt different reaction. =)

Words connote, denote.
Materials connote, denote.
shapes connote, denote.

Anyway,
so fun! I'm going to have silicon-rubber fetish!

Reading material:
Marshal Mcluhan "Medium is the Message" from McLuhan, M. (1964)
Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man

This guy wrote about
"McLuhan proposes that media themselves, not the content they carry, should be the focus of study; he said that a medium affects the society in which it plays a role not only by the content delivered over the medium, but by the characteristics of the medium itself."

somehow it links to what I wish to focus too...

Just like the use of Teddy is a medium for me to show my affection to Hana.
[she totally ignored me today.. until i brought out teddy~]

Poor Teddy...


Some links I find it quite interesting.. Maybe I still don't get it yet. but just jot down here first.

me -- teddy -- Hana
artist -- artwork -- viewer
artwork -- appearance -- Emotions
idea -- _________ -- changes?
or

me -- wii controller -- cooking mama (^^p)

The interactivity and how it attracts me

a lot of pple have been asking me why majoring in interactive.

♪

♪ Many people would assume that the whole idea of interactive is about technology, programming, handphones and websites. But it wasn't my idea at all. All I want to focus in is the whole idea about interactivity between people and _*toot*_ in term of psychological, emotional and physical aspect~
Like what's going on between a painting with its viewers? how does that song attracts you...... bleh bleh bleh... concentrate on the centre.. between two bodies or within spaces.. It like coming out with the theory. lol. that sounds ambitious.

♪ Look at Hana! she's such a cute cat right? =D She's my interactive 'gadget' which i'm going to present in class!


p.s. did i explain why i end up in interactive? lol. it's because ... ....
