Immersiveness and Simulation

Immersion into simulation seems to be the solution. The trick, if I can put it in such a drear sort of way, is to create a world which does not collapse under scrutiny.. or maybe to not scrutinize the world in general...
Functionality of words and forms seems to be taking hold of everything... I think that this, with religious texts excluded, was brought to the forefront of post-war culture by the dvent of computer programming. Actualy functionality was offered to ease suffering. Computers use a words to create architecture, limiting of possibilities through creating possibilities. Computer code can create something from nothing. All realities may exist at once in parallel... and it is not descriptive but normative... not only is it normative, but it is normative for each individual.


Massively Single-Player Online Role-Playing Game, SPORE by Will Wright

Massively Single-Player Non-line Role-Playing Game, by Félix González-Torres

I'm not actually sure how recursive SPORE is, because I haven't played it yet, but the term Wright created for it is impressive (MSORPG).

Weather Icons

Wikipedia.org

For having an ability to create a limitless number of options, Wikipedia.org i strange to me in that they only accept some science. Some science is often some science fiction anyway, so why are there no opinions? Or maybe why are all the opinions from the same sort of people. I don't know if it's healthy..

Kitsch Rules Everything Around Me

I started a street style blog called kitschruleseverythingaroundme...
I am in Waco, Texas right now so i don't have alot of content.. but the idea is that I will take photos whereever I happen to be.
I will be in Chicago starting next month for a while. so more content will come :-)

Some Video Stills from WIP

My House is a Video Game

'Go for it. No worries.'

Sometimes you just have to go for it and other times you ought to have no worries, but I think that both at once is a good idea.

Natural Laws of the Internet

It seems to me that if natural rights for physical spaces were developed from natural laws for physical spaces that the natural rights of the internet should be developed from the natural laws of the internet.

'AHHHHHHH!'

Here is a video that recorded last year. I just now got around to editing it.

The Long Zoom in Film

What if the more popular people were, the more space they took up?
This might be a fun thing to have in a movie (maybe a dream sequence).
It could be shot like Peter Jackson shot Gandalf, in Lord of the Rings, to make him look taller than the hobbits.



I could be like the Long Zoom in Spore or in Google Earth.



With incredible slow motion and a big lens so it looks like each person is in entirely different worlds.
