“

The Arrow and the Song

I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.

I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For who has sight so keen and strong,
That it can follow the flight of song?

Long, long afterward, in an oak
I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.

”

- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (via stormyrenner)

Jon Kessler, The Web:

The Web is an immersive installation that addresses the significance of the Internet and mobile devices in our lives while simultaneously examining the role of the viewer.

Building art experiences around today’s tech behavior is getting more common. It’s worthy of a mockery since humans are communicating more than ever through status posts and creativity rather than face to face interaction.

This is in addition to all the do it yourself creativity, popularized by innovative Apple products.

Very neat work that challenges is to think about our engagement and conditioning by and through our use of web-accessing gadgets

Roger Ebert on his addiction to Twitter:

I vowed I would never become a Twit. Now I have Tweeted nearly 10,000 Tweets. I said Twitter represented the end of civilization. It now represents a part of the civilization I live in. I said it was impossible to think of great writing in terms of 140 characters. I have been humbled by a mother of three in New Delhi. I said I feared I would become addicted. I was correct.

Ebert also had a list of best Twitter practices:

My rules for Twittering are few: I tweet in basic English. I avoid abbreviations and ChatSpell. I go for complete sentences. I try to make my links worth a click. I am not above snark, no matter what I may have written in the past. I tweet my interests, including science and politics, as well as the movies. I try to keep links to stuff on my own site down to around 5 or 10%. I try to think twice before posting.

Roger Ebert (1942 - 2013): ★★★★★

Hey, new poetry app. Yes, I would like to memorize Shakespeare.

Yay, love it when new poetry apps are developed. Helps us remember and appreciate old-fashioned literature format that is STILL relevant today.

Vinyl

The original format is durable. I feel the same way about paper too. Moleskine will be around for ages.

It’s terrific that older technologies survive and sometimes, thrive, in this mobile tech age.
