Experience
Our final project was very focussed on the idea of glitching and the characteristics of media that breaks down. Our rehearsals and experimentation centered around glitch effects, ways to lose connection and disrupt our image in the web. Following the aesthetic and Jennicam, the piece pulls on the small doubt and paranoia that sets in when Read more →
Second Front Interview Critique
I unfortunately could not attend the interview, so I wasn’t sure what content to expect when I started watching the recording of the interview. First thing I noticed was that all the members seemed much older than I expected. When I watched the Second Front pieces previously, from the use of non-sequitur humor and avatar’s appearance, I assumed that they Read more →

Excellent final project overview and documentation. I am very impressed with all the planning, coordination, rehearsal and effort that went into your project.
Fundamentally, I think the work is visually stunning, the way in which you treated the material visually, allowed for the disconnection, lags, and interference to be revealed, and actually incorporate those interferences and so-called “problems” into your work. That in a sense is the power of your collaborative work and investigation of the network as a medium for artistic creation. The piece is kind of a celebration of errors!
My main critique would be that with the complexity of the narrative, that perhaps more of it could have shown through, or been revealed. I think the main problem was the audio. It seemed as though because of the extreme lag and pauses, that you lost some of the continuity of noise, conversation, and other elements that would clarified the narrative and heightened the tension of the work. Perhaps the use of additional sound or even texts might have helped to bring out the many aspects of the narrative, character development, and storytelling that you were trying to communication.
That said, it is a beautiful work, and the collaborative effort between each of the members of your group was stellar, and it shows. What you might consider doing is taking a series of screenshots to include in your portfolio, because again, I think the visual aspects of the work are the strongest, and the way you treated the signal disruptions was truly masterful.
And so too, the interface was very effective, and particularly the way in which you alternated screens between four and two and one. That also kept the narrative moving forward effectively. If only there had been more audio or textual support to keep the continuum smoother and more continuous.
Val, I can see that you took to heart many of the ideas we were exploring in Internet Art & Culture, particularly the importance of process. I have been impressed this semester with your sense of playfulness, and eagerness to take on challenges in your work. This piece was incredibly challenging, and for me what is most compelling is the way you dug so deep into the possibilities and aesthetics and errors of glitch, mining this deep well for information. I hope that you can find ways to continue this investigation in future projects, because it will just become richer the deeper you go.
Internet A & Culture final project - Telepathic Stroll
Project Summary
We wanted to explore the connections between each live stream and the fun possibility that we can create! Since our final project will be presented on the grid wall, we decided to build our whole concept revolving the idea of the grid wall and the potential of viewing all four live streams at the same time to create a Read more →

I am so impressed with the telephatic stroll project. It is really one of the best uses of social broadcasting I have seen. You embraced the medium to its full advantage, and you were extremely clever in the way you achieved synchronization. The idea of creating a soundtrack with rhythm, cues, and instruction was a stroke of genius! I only wish that I might have thought of such a great idea!
The way in which you choreographed the piece was stunning. I particularly liked the switching of cameras from front/back in tandem. That was a great idea and had such a powerful impact on our perspective of time and space. But there were also many other wonderful moments: the alignment of your heads using the height of the screen (amazing); walking perfectly in sync along the path; rotating the phones from person to person to creating a moving panorama; pointing to the sky in unison and even aligning the landscape, trees, etc. All of these ideas were so clever and imaginative, you must have had great fun working it out.
Also the shape of the piece was very well done. Starting away from each other (I’m not sure how you cued up the beginning of the soundtrack), and then coming together in the first space while maintaining the third space perspective and panorama. There was a wonderful sense of coordination, almost like a ballet, as you stepped through each of the sequences with perfect ease and fluidity. The piece was enormously enjoyable and I plan on using it as a prime example of student experimentation in social broadcasting.
Makoto, I was intrigued with your reference to Douglas Davis' World's Longest Collaborative Sentence, and while you are right, that particular passage does describe the Telepathic Stroll, I would have emphasized the collective narrative aspect of the project, in which the writings of many people coalesce into a whole. That is precisely what Telepathic Stroll accomplishes, it merges the four of you into a single, coordinated stroll, a collective stroll, one that you take together via the connectivity of your phones. One other comment: I would have liked to have seen you begin your post with clearer description of the work, something a bit more concise, whereas the closing statement is quite excellent, and you do bring in the collective, community aspect of the work. Overall this is a great achievement. Congratulations!!Telepathic Stroll with ZiFeng,Makoto and SuHwee

Bao, you really did a great job on this project and your contribution of scheduling and coordination was masterful. My only criticism is that there were additional references I would included, such as the Adobe Connect exercise we did, as well as the telematic stroll project to practice your synchronization. Also, whereas I agree with the Videofreex quote by Parry Teasdale, I think there were other aspects of the readings and artworks that might have been more relevant to your project. What about the collective narrative of the Flickr project we did early in the semester for example? But this was a fantastic accomplishment and I extend a huge congratulations for this great effort.Telepathic Stroll Final Project with SuHwee, Makoto and Bao
I really like the outcome of our Final Project very much.

Wind, knowing that you contributed the sync track, and also seeing how much time and effort you put into it, I have to say: CONGRATULATIONS! What a fine achievement, masterful in fact. I really enjoyed your documentation, as always, you are witty and precise all at the same time. And that's not always so easy to achieve! What I am most impressed with is how you made crucial decision to decide just how best to work with Facebook Live. You knew what you wanted, and you were able to get there. That is probably the best obstacle for artists, finding the means and direction for arriving at an artistic results that makes best use of the medium. If you can keep that up in the rest of your work, you will be very successful indeed!First Eva Telematic Lunch

Welcome to the Telematic Lunch by Anam, Win Zaw, Mirei and Isaac. This project has gone through multiple amendments from the very beginning to this final video. During our brainstorming process, we had very interesting ideas that were very ambitious. Taking inspiration from A Hole in Space by Galloway and Rabinowitz, we had the idea of having a live Read more →
