MY NOT SO COMPLETELY CYNICAL GRADUATION SPEECH NEVER GIVEN: AN ILLUSTRATION.

ILLUSTRATION: OF A REALITY. IF WE HERE CAN SIT AND IMAGINE A WORLD…THE NEXT WORLD OR A SEQUENCE OF WORLDS THAT YOU LIVE NOW HERE WITH YOUR PARENTS AND PROFESSORS WHAT WOULD THAT BE? WHAT WAS THIS?

If we can’t imagine something we should illustrate it: we all here…the family, friends, colleagues, professors, and the ‘commodity’ the students sit in this threshold waiting to get launched like a cannonball from a gun. If we could then all put on those jet packs were all supposed to have by now a hover above the ceremony what would we see? Or illustrate? Is it a map or is it…was it …a collective drawing in a necessary and venerated institution? Take that jet pack ride with me and lets avoided that metaphor that we were all cannon balls devastating the broad economics or being devastated as cannon fodder.

START OF THE CALSS...

...THIS IS WHERE THE SUMMER COURSE STARTS....

Media as a Lifestyle

According to readings assigned by Professor Baldwin media plays a very important factor in determining our lifestyle. Different ideas for buildings, landscapes, and cities are brought to the public by different forms of media. One comes up with creative images using his/her vivid imagination and these unimaginable yet possible ideas are introduced to the world. How has this changed our life? Well let’s think about it, every invention was first created in someone’s mind and then made sense on paper in 2D graphics. Today however these papers are replaced with computer and touch screens and in the future everything can be replaced with holograms. We are using the technology that people 2000 years ago might have looked upon as impossible therefore we say from their point of view, we are living the “unlivable”. However, who is to say that things may not further develop from today. Media is used as a form of art and people with very imaginative minds use their talent to create the unthinkable. These creations shape the ways of how people live and therefore their lifestyle.

zero sum winter

THE SNOW DOES A GOOD JOB. The city is covered. The freedom to move has been minimized. They closed many things before this even started. It is winter after all. The snow adds a democratizing process. It covers and then hinders. In this pervasiveness it is beautiful. It covers the brownstone and the vertical ‘lift’ of the trees. No wind. The sound of cars struggling through the streets makes a pervasive hiss. The shovels scrape, as homeowners are out early.

Between the ‘vectors’ of what you are told you could expect…from your parents, from your friends, from your intimates, from your spouse, from your job, from your bank, from your doctor, your undertaker...from all of the knowledge that you can pick up in-between you also maintain a degree of skepticism. What if they are lying? Are the fundamental motivations of the modern business all about zero sum relations of taking from one source and allocating to another?
