My TubeLickr: Philosphi(es) of an Internet Life

26 May 2009 by céline

Make Money not Art redirected me to this “insane in the membrane” interface! Being an ID* (interaction designer) seeing this made me happy. Messy and non-functional interfaces can somehow find their ways through functionality. In parallel in my life, I’m reading Anti-Oeudipus Capitalism and Scizophrenia: “In the first place, territorial representation is made up of two heterogeneous elements, voice and graphism: the former is like the representation of words (…), while the latter is like the representation of things__of bodies__established in extended filiation. The former acts on the latter, while the latter reacts on the former, each element having its own particular force that is connoted along with that of the other, so as to perform the great task of germinal intense repression.” How does “dropping the ego” makes sense in a society where the ego is the user?
