Krueger uncovered foundational questions in interactive design through his exploration of ‘artificial reality.’ Using some of his conclusions (response is the medium, computation as a humanistic project) we scanned projects that foreground interaction.https://youtu.be/dmmxVA5xhuo

We wrapped up our third week with a trip to

Notably, show is cross-generational. This is nicely illustrated by Judith Doyle’s “WORLDPOOL” (1978, fax-based mass collaboration) hanging on same wall as
@prettydarke’s “AR+ Show” (2017, exploits Snapchat face-detection glitch). Info on latter: https://prettydarke.wordpress.com/portfolio/ar-show …pic.twitter.com/O6GLh1wwlfThis media may contain sensitive material. Learn more

In our fourth week, we turned our attention to cyberspace and the internet. We traced ARPANET’s origins in defence/research, to the birth of the world wide web at CERN, to the mid-’90s gold rush to monetize what Al Gore championed as “the new infrastructure.”pic.twitter.com/5ctPeuuK8X

Oh yes, these were simpler times; in 1998 Netflix launched as a mail-order DVD rental service with 925 titles (remarkably their catalogue has not grown since then), and a major tech company *actually* got in trouble for monopolistic practices.pic.twitter.com/UMGRF3jUoj

Using the inflating tech bubble as a backdrop, we surveyed how artists were exploring these new networks and protocols. Douglas Davis’ “The World’s First Collaborative Sentence” (1994), was prescient in leveraging user-generated content. https://whitney.org/Exhibitions/Artport/DouglasDavis …pic.twitter.com/EnHV5VMJXi

Much early http://net.art was interactive fiction. Simon Biggs’ “Great Wall of China” (1996) was experimental interface for the eponymous Kafka story; Olia Lialina’s “My Boyfriend Came Back From the War” (1996) used HTML frames like comic panels http://www.teleportacia.org/war pic.twitter.com/ARJFLUpu5q

Other proto-net artists organized performances and happenings. Adriene Jenik & Lisa Brenneis’ “Desktop Theater” (1997-2002) was an interactive performance space; Heath Bunting’s “King’s Cross Phone-In” (1994) enlisted netziens to coordinate a payphone commuter party.pic.twitter.com/MiZkcl63vx

The students immediately ‘got’ practices that engage HTML and the browser as material unto itself. Joan Heemskerk & Dirk Paesmans http://wwwwwwwww.jodi.org (1995-) was a hit...pic.twitter.com/HA4UdijnqL

Replying to @rhizome
Did my best! The 2017 reflection/thoughts/notes essay by Fuller was very helpful. Danke (as always) for your continued efforts.
