Simple Technology/Stelarc

During the FACS 2930 class last week on Monday, I was unforunately late but still managed to catch up on what the professor was talking about. Mainly about sounds and how it can be made simply with tapes. The sound was a bit weird at first since there wasn't much difference but as it continued to loop, the synchronization of the two tapes failed to stay together. The final results were quite different, the sound and frequency sounded different.

During the weekend, I didn't have much to do...However, I was just surfing through Deviant Art and I found this new visual style for Vista and XP. It's based on a theme called GAIA08 which spreads out the concept about being environmentally friendly digitally. From this, I decided to customize my own desktop (vista interface) and mac (XP on bootcamp) to use this new theme. At the same time, I'm planning to create a wallpaper and an object dock skin that matches the GAIA08 theme.

Today's class of 2930 was about the feedback or delay of sound and the guy by the name of Stelarc. He was the one who made this device or invention that uses volt to control a human's body (arms, legs, etc.). With this way of controlling movement, it's possible to create digital movement like using a "green screen" with the sensor(s) on the body.

Lastly, the phase 1 project is somewhat confusing for me. I know we're suppose to use html, css, frames within this website we create but what do we exactly put in it? A specific theme? From what Mark said today, he said we can put images but that leads to the link or something.

PS. At first, typing up this post was really awkward because I couldn't get use to the normal way of just typing something through the "compose tab" (non-html). So I decided to use the "Edit Html tab" instead...maybe its because I'm already getting use to the way of how the raw process of creating the post is like (html-based).
