Telematic Embrace, or: a Touchless Touch

@ 遠き世に

The keyword Randall Packer emphasised upon was “negotiation”: our adjacent positions on Adobe Connect made it important to collude with each other in order to achieve the various tasks assigned to us. It takes a while to reach that conclusion, especially where negotiation often connotes the act of “discussing” to reach a consensus, which did not quite happen (as opposed Read more →

Glad to see you recognized the importance of negotiation! Critical to performance these kinds of synchronized events in the third space, as well as our everyday social interactions with others.

SUMMARY

The third space. A space that combines our current space with another space. Yet, it is nearly impossible to coexist in two of the spaces simultaneously. However, this does not mean that we can not communicate with other who have stepped into the third space along side you. In a sense as we step into the third space, we are Read more →

Many wonderful thoughts here and the image you shared is a real beauty! Excellent documentation and thoughts on the third space and the telematic embrace.

Telematic Embrace: Adobe Connect Experience

@ hello

So this past week we tried using adobe connect in class! Adobe connect allowed us to be in the first space and third space at the same time, since we were doing the adobe connect activity in class, and we could see each other physically and virtually.

We completed little tasks that Randall Packer set for us: align your fingers with Read more →

Very good account of the process of negotiation and collaboration in the third space of Adobe Connect.

@ Daphne Ngatimin

Introduced to the world of Adobe Connect, it was the first time I have heard and experienced this application. In class, we experimented and immersed ourselves into the Third space as a team.

We talked about emotional bandwidth expanded over the years, from simple texting, to calling, to Facetime and social broadcasting. Through the development of this, we are able to Read more →

Very good account of how we were using negotiation, connection, and compromise to coordinate our actions in the third space.

The Telegarden Review

@ f e l ❍

The Telegarden – Directed by both Ken and Joseph, is a telerobotic garden displayed through an online platform that acquiesces users to interact and connect with the garden. Inspired mainly by the internet, through a small screen, one will see what looks like an industrial robotic arm who takes your biddings.

The interaction Read more →

Good research! You captured much of the intent of the artist Ken Goldberg in creating a new form of gardening at a distance through what is called "telepresence," meaning being present at a distance. I am curious if you think that Goldberg was attempting to forecast a new kind of gardening technique, or whether there is a certain irony here that with the Internet we have come to distance ourselves from nature and gardening. I would also urge you to consider how this work fits into our study of the "collective narrative." Given that Telegarden is essentially an online community garden, which tend to be very social in nature, how he transposed in this work the collective nature of the community garden to the Internet. Of course, the use of chat is an important ingredient of that.

|| This week during class, we all got on Adobe Connect (it was my first time using this software ever), and immersed ourselves into the Third Space together.

We discussed about how the emotional bandwidth (the quality of emotional exchange between two individuals) of texting is significantly different from that of video calling or social broadcasting since we are able to Read more →

Excellent review of the project and application of such important skills as negotiation and compromise.

The review

During lesson, our class went through what was coined the ‘telematic embrace’.

During the lesson we held a online conference on Adobe Connect. Then we were asked to do a few tasks in front of our web cams. From where we sat, we could all see most of our classmates undergo each task rather differently, resulting in a wall Read more →

Excellent review of the project and the concept of negotiation. Can you check to see if there is some reason why your images are broken? It's always good to check your post to see if everything is working correctly. It may be because you linked to the Drobpox folder, which is not public. Thanks.

@ Francesca

I am sure that all of us are no stranger to web-conferencing platforms such as Skype and Google Hangouts. Therefore, the experience of seeing one another through a screen in real time is something that we are familiar with.

However, what is out of the norm for me is the fact that I have never been in a video conference with Read more →

Excellent to see you pointing out why it is so difficult to be in the first and third space simultaneously. This project performance in both spaces is certainly revealing!

@ Farz

It was the first time I used Adobe connect and it was so COOOOOOOL!! When I first heard about it, I thought it was probably going to be similar to the same boring old Skype. But nope I was wrong.

I had a lot of fun and it was nice to see the whole class communicating with each other and trying Read more →

Farz, good review of the project but don't forget to use the featured image and be sure you post your images in a larger size. There is a menu when upload or in the editor to change the size of the image.

I spy with my little eye… something bright.

Your smile. AYYYY.

I had my very first Adobe Connect experience in class yesterday. I never knew it could it so much fun to be doing a live webcam with my classmates! HAHA, now I can spy on them without having to fear that I will make Read more →

Very interesting how you point out that you can look at others while not actually making eye contact. I hadn't thought of that, very astute!!
