Multiplicity
This week was all about multiplicity, did you know just for fact that multiplicity is a movie?? I did not know that until I tried to search for this topic on google and it kept coming up!!!!. When first hearing about it I was confused and what not sure exactly what was meant by it, but once reading over my lecture notes I realised that the perfect quote for multiplicity is indeed one said through the lecture - “group of people knew more than a single person did.” It made sense as I am now beginning to think of multiplicity as a collective group rather than just a single person like myself trying to understand the whole internet.
A bit of information on computers:
Did you know that they are digital (works with O’s and 1’s)
Did you know there are 44,000 little bits of sound per second on a CD
Did you know that on a CD there are 24/25 frames per second
Personally I knew a few of those fun facts, but on the whole it was nice to have them explained to me, and I thought I would share my knowledge with everyone =) I am still amazed that there are 44,000 little bits of sound per second, that to me is unimaginable, that number is so large it hardly makes sense…
Also in the lecture we were shown about scalability, interaction and anchoring… words that I had not really processed with the internet, though it was really interesting to listen to and understand more in the realm of the internet.
During our tutorial we discussed the outcomes of multiplicity and how it effects the internet. Then we went onto the delicious site and went though the tags which had been done for our class. I especially found the Michael Jackson thriller amazing as well as the artworks by Peter Funch. They were absolutely amazing and I can not comprehend how both artists did their work. It was great to see what can be achieved. I really liked seeing it and talking about the works. We also talked about our final assignments, I am thinking of doing the video one, but am yet to think of some sort of story/theory behind mine, though as soon as I do, I am going to write it down and it will not escape me, unlike me other ideas!!!
Well enjoy your week and I’ll catch up with you all later =)
