Ahh yes time to screen the images I've got from my catch
Here is a list of the images in order from left to right within rows...
As in 1 -> 2 -> 3 then with the next row starting on the left 4 -> 5 -> 6 and so on...
Also, it will be listed with the number then it's original image name (in case there was a certain given name for it before I rename it). Then when clicking on the original name of the image, it will lead to the actual image and beside that would be the link to where the image was from (ie. the original site and placement of where it was)
Here is an example:
29. googlelogo30.jpg | www.google.ca
---------------------------------------------
Here's the actual list of images:
1. network.png | Site #1
2. CyNet_Network.jpg | Site #2
3. SystemArchitecture.NET_NetworkMethodology.png | Site #3
4. network.jpg | Site #4
5. NetworkTopology.png | Site #5
6. art_network.gif | Site #6
7. global_network.jpg | Site #7
8. Map-caENTI-network.png | Site # 8
9. 350px-Artificial_neural_network.svg.png | Site #9
10. WMIApplication.gif | Site #10
11. network.jpg | Site #11
12. network.png | Site #12
13. GPO%Firewall$20Policy.jpg | Site #13
14. dish-network-2.gif | Site #14
15. wireless-ap-network.jpg | Site #16
16. 68600-open-network-folder.gif | Site #16
17. network-scr.jpg | Site #17
18. home-network.jpg | Site #18
19. network_magic_map.jpg | Site #19
20. SoftLayer_network.gif | Site #20
---------------------------------------------
Some information from just looking at the collected images' names:
- Looking at the results of the original names itself, you can see that 2/20 of the images does not have the word "network" in it
- There are 4 images that purely and only consists of the word "network" as the name
- The collected images (within my own database both through the links on my blog and my computer) is a network itself. Similar to the definition that was posted earlier in this blog, a network is an interconnected system of things or people. Though it might not be fully within a "system" it is definitely interconnected with the relativity of network.
- There are 6 PNG images, 10 JPG images, and 5 GIF images. All leading to a system of different images except within different file types though all classified as images.
---------------------------------------------
Yup, so this is the last post...well for this blog that is haha
The conclusion, the final post is really going to be within phase 4 itself
The title is already made, it will be called: The Sale
The reason is because, after the screening of "fish", it would be put out to sell (whether they'll be living or not is not my problem though)...
PS. sorry if that last sentence sounded REALLY lame!

The Catch
Well today's the day to do all the image collecting now...
A template is already made and ready to have the images be put into it
Unfortunately though, the time is not right or just that the ongoing/continuous algorithm that was used for Google Images had made the previous image I showed earlier not appear anymore. Therefore I will exclude it from my catch (though it would have been better with it). For the sake of following the concept of collecting what I catch with the first time, I took it out. However, other images that I find within this catch can be taken away but with proper reasoning. If any will be taken away, it will still be in the website I made with the imagemap control so you can see why I took it away...

Time is the Key
Going through several searches of net(work) now...
It seems to me that each day or at certain time of the day, the results changes.
Whether it's because new images emerges into the net or just that during certain time of the day the results differ, I think it leads us back to the thought of the past.
Most likely the results depend on the algorithm that was used during that moment...
Since it says here in the page of Google Image Search FAQ:
Google analyzes the text on the page adjacent to the image, the image caption and dozens of other factors to determine the image content. Google also uses sophisticated algorithms to remove duplicates and ensure that the highest quality images are presented first in your results.
From this knowledge, I find that it really does depend on when I search for the images...whether there is a high time of better catch per se...
Awkwardly enough, everything feels like it follows that rule of going back to the past, the origin of what it started with. Ironically enough to even being misleading, I feel that just like the usage of the word net within the past, when the time of the day is nigh there would be supposedly more "fish". Most of the images I've chosen will be picked out tomorrow morning or tomorrow during the evening where the "fish" are more lively (haha...I feel like I'm gonna fail this project cause it's just so weird how I can make this comparison)...
For now, I will create the platform or picture within Photoshop so I can use it for Image-mapping. More to come tomorrow!

Progression V2
Sorry for the last few days haha
It was Victoria weekend so I decided to put some of my work aside...
Now that I'm back, I just discovered something quite interesting relating to how google orders it's images or more of how they show it.
Depending on the window size, surprisingly...the amount of images shown could change. My Firefox window was basically full-screen (showing my dock at the same time), and the results were 1-18 images only. However when I made the window smaller by 3/4 (horizontally), the results changed to 1-20 instead.
From this intriguing development (haha), it could relate back to the net situation. It seems like the window is the net itself where depending on size of the net it'll manage to catch so and so many fish or in this case images. However, there is one difference, instead of the actual size of the net, it's more of the area it can cover. Looking back now and then, remembering how in math class students were taught that the area of a square was bigger than of a rectangle. Similarly to the situation right now, the window of Firefox is what depicts the amount of result. Throughout this whole process of finding the images, it really makes feel nostalgic. The past, the origin, the feel of how it was just like "yesterday" always comes back while doing things in the present for the future.

Progression
So where I left off yesterday...
The suggestions that one of my classmates made during my critique was to try searching with different ordering of my keyword(s) since Google Images uses this algorithm to give the results. Though my knowledge on algorithm is like really bad haha, but I do understand what he means.
From his suggestion, I decided to go through some searches but ordering my keyword(s) differently. They are:
*Keywords are not linked to a site this time*
- work and net
- net and work
- work(net)
I was thinking about replacing "and" with "or" but according to my knowledge and common sense, it'll just exclude one term if it does find the first (and vice versa). Similarly, it's like searching for library books, where the or is to exclude while the and is to include. That is why "and" was used instead of "or".
From what I found through the above keywords, the results were quite different. They were more related to pictures of "work" or "work-in-net". What I mean is that it shows me images of work place(s), or conference(s) of work, and little to none diagrams were shown. Unfortunately, one bad mistake was that when I searched for "net and work" it had one image being sexual related, therefore clearly this way of searching was not the best.
More updates to come later today!
UPDATED at 9:15 PM - Nevermind...going to be continued tomorrow

The Search
For the last few days I've made some searches for images through Google Image. The following are the words I tried searching for and came to my conclusion of what keyword(s) to search for:
*Having the safe search turned off*
- Network
- Net
- Net(work)
Throughout the searches, I found that just searching for "network", I'd get a lot of different diagrams of actual computer/wireless networks. There were a few images that showed the physical connection of a network (ie. multiple wires plugged into a system creating a network). Though there were more diagrams of networks, it showed a variety of them:
- Plain and simple
- Quite detailed (multiple lines connecting to different factors of a 'network')
- Artistic (though it's a diagram it looks very artsy)
When I searh for the word "net", the results differs a lot. There are still some diagrams, but a lot are related to the "Net Framework" of Microsoft. I searched up what this Net Framework is and it says here that it has the intention of bridging the gap in interoperability between applications. In more simple words I guess it's to help create applications easier for the internet and other operating systems (mainly windows in this case). Thinking about this, this "Net Framework" is like a network to connect the "gap" of creating applications for OS's.
Lastly, when searching for "net(work)", the results are quite different from the rest. It doesn't just show diagrams, but the ones that show a picture or a structure which applies more interests when it's being viewed. An example would be this:
The difference between this diagram or image to the other images I've seen from the above searches is that it's more lively. Plus, not only does it show how network is relevant to technology but us human. An online community that is connected not only in an online network but in reality as well. However, what is seem to be reality might not be entirely true, because we are all connected virtually instead.
Anyways...more will be written
PS. Just had critique today...and some ideas were suggested...it will be told in the next post!

Networks
Through the search of images, I looked at some of the information showed on the FACS 2930 site to see if there are anymore definitions or knowledge/meanings related to networks.
I looked through this section about 'online networks', what I found was that there's this site called the UMBRELLA.net
This site is a project, it's goal is here:
"a project exploring transitory or ad-hoc networks and their potential for causing sudden, striking, and unexpected connections between people in public and urban space. The project focuses on the theme of "networks of coincidence", or how shared, yet disconnected activities can be harnessed into collective experiences. UMBRELLA.net examines how the haphazard and unpredictable patterns of weather and crowd formation can act as an impetus to examine coincidence of need networks. In particular, when umbrellas are opened and closed in public space. The project will attempt to highlight these informal relationships by creating a system of ad-hoc network nodes that can spontaneously form and dissipate based on weather conditions."
What I see from this "network" idea is that within these images of what "network" is, maybe if possible within one whole page of search (without going through many images) that the similarities show in all. Like how UMBRELLA.net works, when someone in public opens up their umbrella, others too start to reenact the same action because of the climate change that affects us. So similar to when I search, there's certain to be some type of pattern of arrangement when going through the results. If that idea or way does not show any, maybe a certain image (second image of each page) shows a relation, a very coincidental or just spontaneous, but somehow has an "informal relationship".
Like earlier stated, how I could literally use the first page of result as my images that's collected because from my previous posts...I talked about how I was thinking about using the word net or maybe incorporating that concept. In this case, what I found, what I got from the search first are my first batch of "fish caught, or in this case the first batch of images caught in my net(work).
More reflection and results will be made...

Update on Phase 4
Just talked over with Nadine about what I plan to do...
The concept of going back to the primitive ages or from where it all originated is workable. Mainly the representation factor that makes me worry because somehow whatever I show or how I show the phase 4 will impact the meaning of it.
The idea is to create some sort of background of a fish net with the images caught in it. When an image is clicked, on the right or left hand side, it will show the description of what I discovered relating to the images' context, significant and reason(s) why it is a chosen image for my database of what I believe can illustrate the definition of network.
The word net was also usable search word because it relates and is the origin of the word network. The only choice for me, is to decide whether to incorporate images that might not literally be "technology" base within my representation. What my main goal is to show that there's an evolution of the word net become a network. Gathered together, with information, people or things...similar to one of the definitions I've found for the word network.

Definitive
After a week or so of deciding and drifting off, my choice of phase 4 is to go through an image database such as Google looking up the word Network and seeing what pattern or conundrum appears within it.
The reason I chose Network because it can be easily visualized or represented (well easy saying but hard to do) and I like challenges so this will be a fun task for me.
So far, I've looked up the definition of Network...
What I've found so far that relate to technology mainly are:
Google - Define
- An interconnected system of things or people
- A system of interconnected electronic components or circuits
Dictionary.com - As a Verb
- To connect to a network
- To distribute widely
- To organized into a network
Other Non-Technology Based definitions(From previous sites above)
- An open fabric of string or rope or wire woven together at regular intervals
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The last definition listed above, I find that this could be my representation. The fact that everything really starts from an origin. Therefore, before we had technology in our lives, the more physical of what a "network" would be a net made out of fabric of string or rope. Though it's not an easy job, I think eventually it'll work and hopefully it would make sense of what I mean of using the primitive view of the technology network of images of what it developed into.
More ideas/news to come!
