   rhethorics 
     of              $<--$  personal challenge
   material


   everything else       computation
     is               -->
   subsidiary            interaction

item(s)/hazard(s) -- with subtext(s)

requirements -- kill creativity
user studies -- lead to conservatism
clear goals -- limit exploration

model(s) -- the creative process

the creative process -- involvement & reflection


   peripheral
       --> unfocussed
       --> subliminal
                       attention/awareness model(s)

model(s) of dissemination -- pathology/dialectic(s) of awareness

creativity is contagious
viral games
the (digital) seduction of a civilisation

on the emergence of creative technology

this is where the subtext ends, and the exploration begins, with as the ultimate challenge, to realize a new discipline: creative technology

perspective(s) -- aesthetic awareness

perspective(s) -- innovation as an expression of ignorance

frankfurt airport -- multimedia walkway
shanghai river tunnel -- visual experience
shanghai shopping center -- full globe video projection
etcetera -- visual quilt, PANORAMA, ...

medium is the message -- the aesthetics of our time

9/11 -- tube(s)

issue(s) -- the creative technology track

creative track -- starting from 1st year

identity -- as a group
portfolio -- as individual
imagination -- mixing science and art
authenticity -- as in no bullshit
craftmanship -- in discovering the rethorics of the material

mechanism(s) -- educational element(s)

(art) inspiration(s) -- item(s) of beauty
(periodic) de-construction(s) -- discover (un)truth
(technical) exploration(s) -- trial(s) without error(s)
(creative) workshop(s) -- to boost the imagination

control(s) -- layered mentorship

supervision(s) -- from multiple perspectives
(peer) reviews -- with mild competitive edge
(public) exhibition(s) -- for external exposure

slogan(s) -- do you want to make a difference

de Waag

technology to innovate social processes
social processes to innovate technology

open source

the world is changing -- twitter

web2.0 (4): everything is becoming digital and virtual
VU @ SL (7): even in 3D and Second Life
climate @ VU (9): but there are serious problems
computer (8): computer science is magic
science (6): but it is not a science
games (3): imagine no books but games
(*) do you want to make a difference
what, why, how (5): people keep asking me questions

metaphor(s) -- towards a new curriculum

a networked world -- you make it work [emgineering,management] -- not network maintenance!
everything is connected -- you make the connections [mediator, management]
everything is intertwinkled (Ted Nelson) -- you make it twinkle [the creative track]
