In class, there were many
interesting presentation concepts that really bring out people’s thoughts and
creativity through their project. Some project proposal that I found thoughtful
was the sound editing work using borrowed ideas from the game Bioshock which is
a really cool game with a unique view of a utopia society. I really would be
excited to see the finish work and see how he will incorporate themes from
class to the project. Another presentation that I was impressed with was the
one that Alice and her group are doing with different literature works. The
themes of each work are interesting because it really looks at how technology
and society would work together as time advances. Furthermore, I think that
each individual work has a creative and intriguing story that I would be very
interested in to read. One of the most fun read for me was about Anda’s game
and the study of AI and how far we can push the limit of technology. If we can
create the perfect AI with human emotions and independent thoughts, is it still
considered artificial?
Lastly, the presentation that involves
railroad lamps was very fascinating. I never realized that there were so many
different types of railroad lamps. The idea is cool because it brings together
both something from the past (the lamp) and the future (web) and creating a new
experience for others. By informing,
creating contents, we can educate the mass using the web that we build
together.
