War

Things I do - Wilbert on July 9, 2006 at 12:34 pm, 1 Comment

Hi, hypernarrative is a blog by Wilbert Baan about Art, Media and Technology with a focus on interactive storytelling. If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed with Google or Netvibes. I'll post a few messages a week. Thanks for visiting!

At one moment a few years ago (2002) I used my webcam to record what was playing on television at that moment. With war being a major media and political issue at that point I created this short video representing the paradigm used by media to represent the war. With protagonists, antogonists, commenters and embedded media. Making this the way I did was not an attack on media it is a confirmation that visual media needs characters and a plot for representation. By organizing those you can use everything you want to create a story. Representation is all about context.

Wandering around videofiles on my harddrive I found these two - never really finished - videos.

Portalism

On the Web - Wilbert on July 5, 2006 at 10:30 pm, Comments Off

Eventually no one will escape to the force of portalization. It’s such a contradiction that the search engine that emerged from the chaos of portals is now a victim of its own strategy. Does Google still needs its simplicity? Don’t we got used to websites presenting more information and isn’t a visual hierarchy more important than simplicity? A website needs to be simple, but could the level of simplicity used by Google be underestimating its users?

Unlikely Boomtowns

Architecture - Wilbert on July 5, 2006 at 9:48 pm, 0 Comments

This weeks Newsweek-theme is about the urban sprawl that will cover the earth for the next decades and how cities will transform and grow closer together to transform into large urban hubs, a so called megapolis. There are some interesting views in the article on what makes smaller a smaller city grow faster compared to big ones.
