Talk
- documenting creativity as it is happening
- live
- oriented toward real-timeliness
- how does this compare to my Live-wikying? cf Events started before summer 2010
- view creativity
- different and appropriate
- no ability to measure or augment
- pedagogical historical exploration
- skimming through http://www.flickr.com/photos/jeanbaptisteparis/
- Wikipedia:Experiments in Art and Technology
(E.A.T.)
- social network aspect of avant-garde, introducing each others
- e.g. John Brockman and Warhol, now publishing Edge
- risk of elitism (despite its sometimes positive definition), since being part of the event is not equivalent to reading the blog
- e.g. through serendipity (cf AIW02#WebAndSerendipity), context through constraints of physical space
- how to share more than the content
- unlike the web, but is it enough?
- yet to check against post-narrative
- consequently, how to scale such creative and social spaces?
- architecture of the MIT Media Lab
- visited with Lea during NY-Montreal09
- initially the hidden BatCave to the open see-through Media Lab 2.0
- overall very "correct" research at MIT Media Lab
- rather than questioning a political or ethical situation
- the importance of the visible, a "brand"
- question on the ethical aspect of creations, can they be "badly" used?
- history of the lab under the chairs
- physical hidden layer of history of the previous works, technological archeology
- flexible goal reaching strategy
- comparing German with precise map vs. Italian way toward a moving target
- limited space
- at least require a goal shared with somebody there
- "a physical space that is bigger than a dinner [to compare with Edge]"
- discussion on political aspect for acceptance (e.g. tenure)
- re-productiveness
- smartness (even though here mostly ADHD/Asperger), money (including here from DARPA here) and space are required
- but not sufficient
- need also a culture, not solely an open environment
- the importance of space comes from "living togetherness"
- how to deal with not being to live all at the same place?
- consider networked distributed environment
- is it even desirable?
- knowing its own limitations
- significant amount of people from alternative pedagogical background including Montessori
- which does not apply to the Engineering department
- ability to put projects to hibernation
- a la swapping after saving the process context
- mention of mecatronics projects
- on the importance of the availability of machines
- as sometimes you do not know what you have to do
- overall presenting a lot of machines present
- description of Sprout non-hackerspace space in the actual garage
- harvested material, including http://web.mit.edu/reuse/
- importance again of face to face interaction, not through website
- yet the whole chain is not necessarily complete yet, some tasks have to be delegated to actual lab
- not "everything is possible"
- mention of BioCurious
- spreading tools
- importance of shared design
- efficiency of shared simple rules
- mention of H+ Summit and critics on some transhumanists and their views

focusing more on the Internet itself)

Personal remarks
- requiring a 2nd person view / reflection
- like brain imaging, might require a new form of discipline not to go offtrack
- potentially breaking flow
- requiring more cognitive resources
- even if later on it might be beneficial
- handling multiple channels
- equivalent to communication with RT media e.g. Twitter back wall during a talk
- since interested in epistemology and creative space
- is there a source? is it MIT Media Lab?
- if the MediaLab is the main source (or one of its main sources), does it mean it will remain a fundamental place even through an economical paradigm shift as suggested by WithoutNotesFebruary11#MartinFord?
- direct critic of transhumanism
- yet for most, it would appear as if he is working in its cradle
Back to the Menu
Overall remarks and conclusions
- how to define culture?
- what are the progresses of scalability?
- for myself and wiki inclined people : World#CreativeSpace?action=edit
- live-documenting was not the topic, rather replicating creative spaces
