BIRTH OF THE DEVICE

Inspired by men who have made fairly random and arbitrary, though always well researched and poignant media catalogs that document our collective communication subconscious, from Laszlo Moholy-Nagy’s 1925 Painting, Photography & Film to McLuhan’s endless volumes on the mid century electronic information age, I’ve been working to continue the tradition for the early 21st with my own partial but extensively considered study of the ‘Birth of the Device.’ An ongoing inventory of effects that skips across remote enabled drone warfare, ai’s related image effect on our collective visual conscious, the infinite vanishing point of the screen, cats in fruit hats as the symbol of internet and the radical relevance test of content that proves that a father and daughter beatboxing can generate more views than paid advertising that forces us to watch until we are allowed to ‘skip.’
SPECTACLE 101

Always encouraged by the artists, collectives, happenings and studios that thought about applied arts and industry as cultural and civic, Spectacle 101 is a ever growing curriculum that surveys manifestos, readings, film and studios that feel like hallucinations, experiments and propaganda for the role of technology and media in their age.  From Kandinsky’s 1910 Concerning the Spiritual in Art to Terry Gilliam’s 1985 Brazil dystopia, the course is built to question as Hans Meyer says, how “as creative designers, our activities are determined by society, and the scope of our tasks is set by society [and] the fate of the landscape” (1929 Hans Meyer).
 
ON BIBLIOGRAPHY MINES

I once asked Elizabeth Edwards (best known for her 1992 Photography & Anthropology) why there was such a seeming dearth of visual anthropology focused on design decisions in the presentation of knowledge beyond materiality and the image and into how the image is placed, accompanied by what text in what type, treatment of graphics, tables etc. and all the cultural decisions that go into the details of knowledge creation and representational practice. 
She commiserated and referred me to her bibliography from her “2007 Gardens of War: Materiality & The Photographic Narrative” for some bibliography mining. To pass on the practice and hopefully save someone some time, I have compiled a starter kit bibliography from that research and some of the basics. 

Birth of the Device & the Post Medium Age
Spectacle Research 

Welcome to Birth of the Device, an inventory of effects on our new era of media communication in 2020.Today, content is no longer limited to the constraints of 20th century recorded media. Type no longer related to print, film no longer tethered to celluloid, sound to tape or even our early programming and digital formats to heavy localized hard drives and servers. Specialized equipment or production knowledge is no longer required to send video, type, icons or infographics, sound, music, or even altered photographic reality with deep fake apps. Family whats app threads regularly mix emojis, video, voice notes, type and image. This condition presents new opportunities for uniquely 21st century aesthetics as well as new socio-political conditions for the monetization, creation and free movement of communication in society.

Research Questions

What happens when, for the first time in the history of mass communications technology, the average citizen holds the means of production and distribution in their hand?What are the implications for power systems and the diversification of representational practice amidst a new empire of media corporations, data monopolization and the disappearing margin between content, journalism, clickbait, algorithms and advertising.What are the implications for the basic time signature of media? The grammar, syntax and structure of communication? What happens to film when moving image has been displaced from the narrative chronology typical to the filmic screen of the theatre or television?What happens when the form of the medium no longer seemingly relates to the product or media it creates?

Birth of the Device is an inventory of effects set out to explore the questions and conditions of our new era of media communication in 2020. Following in the tradition of Laszlo Moholy Nagy’s 1925 Malerei Fotografie Film and Marshall McLuhan and Quentin Fiore’s 1967 experimental paperback, The Medium Is the Massage, Birth of the Device is a partial, experimental @* acid pop into 21st century media- networked, synced, kinetic. Beyond McLuhan’s cool and electric and Moholoy Nagy’s typophoto modernism, Birth of the Device is a trip, distilling and abstracting insights from the intersection of our current socio-political movements in the early 21st century and our shifting technological moment.

21st century x praxis

While Moholy-Nagy was writing amidst increasing European fascism, the rise of industrialism and the crisis between the world wars, Birth of the Device similarly looks at media in the context of early 21st century political, environmental and social developments. The revolution of the internet has paralleled revolutions in drone operated warfare, data hacking, privacy and surveillance issues and a slipping mass journalistic standard due to mounting rhetoric of ‘fake news’ to dismiss unfavorable reporting.As a 21st-century work, we can add a lens of ethnography; economic anthropology; postcolonial, queer and feminist critique; activism; and speculative design thinking. Through these lenses, media is not the machine but rather are systems of interactions between economic imperatives encompassing modern-industrial neoliberal capitalism, proliferations of subcultures and a fundamental spiritual questioning of human experience.Our new age calls for a diversification of the the philosophical and social principles of internet architecture and environmental experiences of messaging, which is a collective experiment and has involved interviews and conversations across subcultures and fields. As climate disaster, deforestation and dwindling natural resources intensifies, we need new collaboration between fields to understand a broader ecosystem of affects connected to our technologies and how we can reshift our understanding of technology as futurism to expand beyond innovations in digital technologies which rely upon finite resources, short life spans and only partial mechanisms for recycling.

The Post Medium AgeThe conflation of functionality into a singular body has created the Post-Medium Age, where the creation and communication of video, text, glyphs, icons, emojis, GIFs, movies, audio is not defined or seemingly related to the encasement or embodiment of the medium. All functionality is subsumed by the interface of the device.

Nu Media x Multi Media x Trans Media

To differentiate from movements in trans media, multi-media and new media, which are part of a 20th century paradigm of media as defined by each distinct medium, I have been calling this new language ‘nu media.’ Inspired by ‘nu jazz,’ a contemporary genre of jazz that blends acid jazz, electronic music and other musical styles, my project posits that we are no longer limited to think about media as defined by the medium. Rather, the 21st century is increasingly about what we say, not just how we say it.

iDisorders + Diversifying Design Principles

We need a diversification of design principles as the reality of the device has transitioned our lives as mediated through the device for in some cases more than 8 hours a day with transaction based design principles that have bolstered digital autism, iDisorders and addiction. This calls for a re-thinking and regulation, pedagogy and experimentation of this space.

Internet Landscape >> Urban Planning1. Recognition internet landscape as urban planning and Architecture 2. Diversification of that landscape design and internet urban planning

Design Jazzersizing and Elasticications:: sensory ethnographies of IRL interactions translated for device mediated interactions, oceans, orchards, shinto services, sweat…all spaces, types :: internet muralism – bringing suprise, colour, shape and form back into our meanderings around the device mediated world and installation as our language for device mediated design :: beyond RGB and stretching the elasticity of our color spectrums and representation of reality aesthetically

Does it matter that the means of production and distribution in the hands of the citizen for the first time in the recent history? i.Production models structures =x medium Because of the conflation of the body of media technologies, our production models can no longer subsist on ownership on the means of production – as has existed in the 15th-20th century I.e. Presses/Mills : Newspapers I.e. Broadcasting Tech : Radio and Television > rather we Accordion Production models can scale up and down depending on content need. Not just video journalism or long format editorial, or live streaming…but a focus on what we are saying and less on how we are saying it.

Broadcasting in ui and Post Journalism

Condition : Because nobody pays for content – revenue models are 1. monetized on the collection of eyeballs, views and the amount of eyeballs or traffic, which has created the phenomena of our central design tenants in internet architecture mimicking the least desired conditions of society : Virality, Traffic, Click Bait, Feeds for Human Consumption 2. The breadth of content production and journalism is no longer floated by the subscription or purchase of an entire issue – thus each article has to have it’s own internal ROI ‘return on investment’ and thus revenue model. The tabloids, classifieds, weather no longer pay for the long format investigative pieces. Each piece is measurable. 3. Thus we need numbers, the exploration of ‘radical resonance or relevance’ as a hack for generating power in lieu of paying for relevance. > erotica, kink, cats, surrealism, gossip, breaking news, family, baby animals, virtuosity, the marvel of nature 4. Because the basic foundation of our contemporary newspapers and or televisions are personal, customised and kinetic – production models can no longer be based on the body if the media technology.

Moving image has been displaced from the narrative chronology typical to filmic screen. We now live in a world of haiku mini shorts, dances of imagery and sound, journalism reports for subtitled train reading, what are the implications for the basic time signature of media ?

The Search for Spectra Ui; Technicolor my Inter-face

How are we are using moving image, sound, engineering, programming, code art, dance, performance and space to create a nu language which is entirely of our moment in search of a “spectra ui,” which, like technicolor did for celluloid, aims to find a distinct hyperrealism to our visual palette of communication technologies today.

Time Signature, Syntax, Structure, Grammar of Media

::Algorithmic collective consciousness and Related Image Search
::Machine learning and the network
::Parameters of design instead of fixed design; Post script – variable width type
::Nu perspective and illusionism ; infinity perspective, xr
::File Formats as kinetic : GIF et.
::Nu Aesthetics, Post Internet, The phenomena of vaporwave
::Code Art and Internet Muralism
::IG and the rebirth of super flatism and constructivism
::Pop-Up Theatrical Documentary, Lyrical Journalism

Moholy-Nagy for example splits Malerei Fotografie Film into two clear sections, the first to “identify the ambiguities of present-day optical creation,” (1925:1) and the second to“[place] the illustrative material separately following the text because continuity in the illustrations will make the problems raised in the text VISUALLY clear” (1925:47). Because Moholy-Nagy’s work is responding to the age of mechanical modernism and experiments to liberate the image from representational practice, Malerei Fotografie Film uses photography, type and photograms in a graphically rhythmic and elastic new communication language he calls ‘typophotography.’

1967 Fiore x McLuhan

Quentin Fiore similarly animates McLuhan’s media theory on the effects of the cool connected electric information age, as compared to the hot media of Gutenberg’s linear printing press, in a completely new graphical language of kinetic compositions, high-contrast full-bleed images and a cinematic interplay of text, image and graphics. Unlike Moholoy-Nagy’s undulating but linear modernism, Fiore’s experimental paperback is like a spoonful of visual rockcandy: fizzy, ecstatic and consumed instantaneously in a series of television-like blinks. Fiore designed Medium Is the Massage following the creation of educational films for Bell Laboratories exploring the relationship between the computer and the book at a time of explosions in new printing and imaging technologies, alongside the Vietnam War, Civil Rights and Free Speech Movements. He was interested in the reduction of complex theory into simplified signs, glyphs, and patches of text which were accompanied with an LP for mass consumption to demonstrate the hysteria of the new sonic audible electronic information age, as differentiated from the linear rationality of type.
