Media Fast Vision
The media fast enlightened a way of viewing man and machine
in a symbiotic way. We want to create
either a video or literary work that metaphorically presents our discovery in a
creative way.

Tara Pina:
Damn right I
worship terminator.....and would die without the machines...... but jokes aside
in all reality, I just don't see the reasoning or necessity because 1) I feel
at balance with technology - i am the master not the slave! and 2) I don't need
to make myself a guinea pig to find out something that is known just like I
don't need to smoke meth for that experience .... ;)
Greg Williams:
Great idea +Curtis
Jenkins , I will need to check my calendar closely so that I don't
miss any specific homework that requires me to use media! Being a media arts
major that may be difficult. Have you seen what this fellow from "The
Verge" has been doing? Pretty interesting when it comes to media fasting
like a boss
Gwendolyn Hammer:
I'd participate.
If I planned ahead far enough.

Literary
Component: The study of Media and Man
make up a large part of the communication studies society. Fully understanding the subject matter and
how it can be presented in an interesting and clever analogy could make the
information we’ve gained more receivable then simply placing it in a long
boring report. See how many people have
read online scholar journals of media effects as opposed to the number that
have seen the Terminator, Matrix, Avatar,
or God Bless America.
The project will
be mainly geared towards the communication studies groups. This consist of both professors in Public
Relations, Advertising, Communications, and Journalism but also deals with Web
Design and parts of Psychology. This
project could not only target scholars in these areas, but students as
well. The project would either be
presented in a video, screenplay, or literary work.
Success Criteria:
The main idea is
to create a literary or media piece that presents the idea that man and machine
already live in a symbiotic relationship.
Metaphoric pieces have already been done in the past but almost all of
them reflect a negative image of the Machines struggle with Man such as in The Terminator, Wally, and The Matrix. We want to offer a fresh perspective.
Prototype:
The initial discovery
phase of this project has already been completed by a large part of the class. While the main presentation will be done by a
small group, the whole class has already been involved. Frankly I’m a little frustrated I’ve been
trying to plan out everything with absolutely no guidelines all to have them
dropped on my head and told I need this whole thing mapped out in 48 hours.
Here's the media fast Poster we've already use to try and gain participation in the fast.
