New Form of Brain Scan Can Read People’s Intentions
“We shouldn’t go overboard about the power of these techniques at the moment, but what you can be absolutely sure of is that these will continue to roll out and we will have more and more ability to probe people’s intentions, minds, background thoughts, hopes and emotions.“

Don’t know if you’ve heard of this, but this absolutely amazing, and has incredible meaning for interconnected.
Robert Nelson, using random number generators as a means of acquiring noise, shows how they form relationships with human conciousness.

THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE
“Contemporary neuroscience suggests the existence of fundamental algorithms by which all sensory transduction is translated into an intrinsic, brain-specific code. Direct stimulation of these codes within the human temporal or limbic cortices by applied electromagnetic patterns may require energy levels which are within the range of both geomagnetic activity and contemporary communication networks. A process which is coupled to the narrow band of brain temperature could allow all normal human brains to be affected by a subharmonic whose frequency range at about 10 Hz would only vary by 0.1 Hz.”
An Invisible Information Highway
“Like physical light (energy) and elementary particles (mass), consciousness (information) enjoys a wave/particle duality that allows it to circumvent and penetrate barriers and to resonate with other consciousnesses and with appropriate aspects of the environment. Thereby it can both acquire and insert information, both objective and subjective, from and to its resonant partners.”

Next gen performance art.
This article has images of the suit that is modeled on the human skeletal form using rotational joint sensors. It plugs into a MIDI interface and arm movements are converted into a real-time stream of MIDI data. The mapping interface eXo-software allows the user to define how the movements are translated into MIDI control.
Software included with the suit lets the user control any MIDI-enabled program including Cubase, Live, Logic Audio, ProTools, MotionBuilder, Reason, Traktor DJ Studio and any VST instrument or effect.

The paradox unravelled…

the New Media analogy:
“A car crash between two vehicles traveling at extraordinary speeds that takes four years to happen. In one car are internationally recognised computer scientists able to teach programming and control of visual media. In the other are artists, musicians, theorists and designers who are determined to reinvent how art, language and human beings are represented in the 21st century. Miraculously everyone walks away from the crash unscarred, and from the wreckage emerges a software artist able to operate at an exceptionally creative level in both corporate and cultural industries.” • Ruairi Glynn
Bubbles never forget

Physicists at the University of Chicago have discovered that air bubbles retain a “memory” of how they are formed. Click Here, for the story
Oldschool mouse

Here are some diagrams and images of the first mouse! Engelbart’s (reminiscent of Slopek’s lectures) mouse appeared about 1964.
I think awareness of this classical device influences new media perspectives.
