Monkia Parrinder: Access all areas
How can we capture, and make meaningful, a world on the move? In 1962, Umberto Eco proposed the 'work in movement'. Radical experiments in open structure, today, have become the conventions of new media and we don't need any more ways to reflect the world. Lev Manovich suggests the new avant-garde won't be found in a search for new forms, but new modes of access and manipulation.
'Scriptographer' opens up code as craft, whilst a mobile phone equipped with the latest 'pointing' technology becomes a mouse for the real world. Today, we design 'agency' - but, for what?
