Cybernetics: Working with self-organizing systems
Critical Making
'Reimagine an existing technology or platform using the provided sets of cards.
'With our group, we simply chose which combination of cards most suited our interests. Thus we ended up with Memes in a dystopian future, realised by video.
This was a collaboration with: Laura Ketting, Jorijn de Jonge and Eva Schoren.
Research
After agreeing on the subject, we immediately began writing down collective knowledge and ideas. How does this fit in the feedback loop as discussed in class? We also started a shared Google Drive document to collect all our found information.
It soon became clear that Memes are not only mere jokes floating around the internet, but they also carry heavy political value. We also discovered that the politically charged messages had to be transfered by language, thus Meme culture has a language on its own. With these findings in mind, we started to further research and develop our project.
