in opposition to the cuttingedge tech and imaginery we have been exposed at the #edcmooc i decided to capture some pics of casual technologies i could spot around my place. these are common artifacts that may have become obsolete or remain invisible due their extreme functionality or simplicity. they somehow make me recall my humble humanity. the rest of the images in the series: flic.kr/s/aHsjDYue6g
pictures have been taken with a simple compact camera and edited using Gimp, a free and open-source image edition software. www.gimp.org/
notice the images have a CC license attached so feel free to use them, maybe even in your final assessment, the famous "digital artifact".
This is a copy of the What is Human? image that I ran through an "antique photograph" filter in GIMP and then tweaked with the colorization settings.
Popular games like Minecraft allow users to dream and create entire digital worlds, with some learning potential. What happens when that seeps out into the real world?
Minecraft is interesting as can deal with management of resources and sustainable approaches.
A wooden machine is out of place today, but in reaction to metals and plastics, many are starting to offer alternative textures and materials - like bamboo and wood for digital device cases.
I first found this during the initial week of the course, while I was looking for references to a project, and it got my attention. First, because of the similarity with some of the scenes from the "Bendito Machine" video – would our contemplation, our admiration, our reverence be uniquely human? Or would our attitude towards technology would be closer to animal behavior? And I hadn´t even realized at that point that, weeks later, we would discuss the human condition. And the question mark got bigger. Steve Fuller's lecture has particulary caught my attention: have we actually failed in humanistic endeavor? Or perhaps we should just remind ourselves, as the video title says so, that like all carbon-made creatures on the planet, we are just another species made of meat?
One of a series of photos I take of faces to step over (Instagram - #faces2stepover) - finding humanesque faces in human made technologies
A group of students take photos of some areas of maritime interest, not realising they make for a beautiful picture themselves.
The human being that is seeing the collage, definitely can understand it.

Epi is my artistic signature.
