2. Global Village
• When I think of computers and communities, I think
about Marshall McLuhan
3. • “In a tribal all-at-once culture,
the idea of the
public”...individuals, all
dissimilar but all capable of
acting in basically the same
way”
• “...an integral collective awareness
that transcends conventional
boundaries of time and space”
4. • I want to do something that shows how the computer
can transcend borders (physical borders as well as
time)
6. Concept
• To create a sort of • I’ll paste these pictures
‘global village’ (or at together to create
least my either a cohesive
interpretation) image or a moving
image where people
• I will find as many are constantly popping
photos as I can of in and out and over
people posing in front lapping with each
of a famous landmark other
• I’m hoping to collect
photos of people of
various ethnicities,
ages and also from
different times
7. Technology
• Flicker and other • I’ve chosen these
photo sharing sites technologies mainly
because I know how
• iPhoto, Adobe to use them! But also
Photoshop because information is
easily transferred
• KeyNote/Qucktime between all of the
mediums
8. Audience
• Anyone interested in the idea of
a global community
• People interested in travel and
the ‘touristic history’ of a
landmark (tourists as seen from
landmark’s point of view)
