Trenger du hjelp med digitale medier?

Mye tyder på at digitale medier har kommet for å bli. Samtidig peker mye i retning av at disse kommer til å være like, om ikke mer, aktuelle i årene som kommer. Internet, Android, iPhone, iPad, HTML 5.0, Semantic web, nye lisensierings ordninger, cloud computing, QR koder, WiMax, Zigbee, Near Field Communication og Open Soruce. Dette er bare noen begreper og teknologier gjeldene i dag eller i nær framtid. Mulighetene er mange, og det kan være vanskelig å følge med….

Datalagringsdirektivet

Datalagringsdirektivet

Comments 0 Comment

Stortinget vedtok i går, med knapt flertall, å innføre datalagringsdirektivet. Direktivet som har oppstått som et resultat av frykten for terrorisme i Europa, og som er  omstridt i flere europeiske land, vil pålegge leverandører av telefoni- og data tjenester å loggføre trafikkdata i et fastsatt tidsrom. Data som skal loggføres er metadata fra telefonsamtaler og internettoppkoblinger. Hensikten skal være å gjøre det lettere for politiet å kunne benytte datatrafikk til etterforskning som  bevismateriale i en eventuell rettssak. Kritikerne på sin…

As the second semester in my master program is moving towards the end I have some content I want to share with you all. Beside the digital marketplace course and a reading course I have been working on a digital media studio project, or as we call it, the DMSP. In this course sound designers, the digital design media students, the composers and some of us, the digital media and culture students, have been working together on different projects using…

If you have spent time trying out the endless opportunities contained in the art of programming you know how frustrating testing can be. Endless nights and days with an endless amount of  changing variables and recompiling. A missing semicolon, a misspelled word, well, the reasons to frustrations are many.  I know how it is, and I feel with you, you have my sympathy when you trying to clear up a for-for-for-for loop with ten different curly brackets, and that’s just…

Workshop Weekend: Timelapse

Workshop Weekend: Timelapse

Comments 2 comments

A month ago I had a little workshop weekend where I built an electronic camera controller using a relay and an Arduino, this weekend it was about time to try it out. What do you need to make a time lapse? Well, the most important thing is the camera. No camera, no pictures, no time-lapse. In addition you should find somewhere (location) with an OK view and a motive where some changes are bound to occur over a longer amount…

The Non-linear Narrative group, where I’m one of the members, handed in the first assignment in the Digital Media Studio Project on Friday. Together with Brendan, Tom, Gary and Elias I’m working on creating a story which is determined by a random computer model in combination with some pre-written elements. This approach poses some difficulties in the manner of how to superimpose story elements on something which has elements of randomness, and where you are without total control. We have…

Jeg har de siste to årene hatt stor glede av en finurlighet i opphavsrettslovgivningen, og nå ønsker jeg å dele dette tipset med deg. På Internett kan du finne mye materiale gratis, og ofte kan det være vanskelig å avgjøre hvorvidt det er lovlig å bruke eller å bygge på verker du finner online. Kanskje du ønsker å sette opp et skuespill eller lage en film. I begge disse tilfellene kan opphavsretten være i veien, for du kan ikke fritt…

Object Oriented Programming

Object Oriented Programming

Comments 3 comments

This post is written as a blog post on the Digital Media Studio Project blog Non-Linear Narratives. In this post I want to discuss some aspect of object oriented programming, and some philosophy behind the non-linear computer program in its current version. The program is built in Processing, which utilizes the Java programming language, and is ideal to make sketches with its easy-to-create graphical user interface (GUI). Processing has a clear division between its two runtime methods which are crucial…

In the book The Future of Ideas –The fate of the commons in a connected world professor Lawrence Lessig at the Standford Law School introduces us to some issues of contemporary law and its implication on the Internet and creativity. Lessig, who is the chairman of Creative Commons, brings forward the restrictions imposed on the creativity by a hinge for more control on the physical, the code and the content layer. This division of layers he borrows from Yochai Benkler…

A Comment on: Good Manners in the Age of WikiLeaks

A Comment on: Good Manners in the Age of WikiLeaks

In an essay on Wikileaks the Slovenian philosopher and critical theorist Slavoj Žižek discusses Wikileaks and different aspects on how it can be understood. In this short paper I have tried to use some of the elements mentioned in his text. Wikileaks has been subject to great public attention after they in 2010 published diplomatic cables reveling confidential and secret information from internal US diplomatic network. The cables contained intimidating details on foreign heads of states, analyses and views on…
