A topic of constant debate today is the Media, and whether or not it can maintain the roll of unbiased observer and messenger. In the 2016 Presidential Campaign, the constant draw of media attention on candidates brought to the surface media bias and sensationalist reporting. The Media became a positive feedback loop in concert with the celebrity and sensationalist events of the campaigns. In this video, I focused on then-candidate Trump, and the media backlash to seemingly every action he took. This reaction from the media grew and grew with each new scandal or gaffe, generating more and more attention and more and more motive for Trump to perform similar actions. This ultimately played a major factor in the election, with the Media being responsible for the inflated attention on the candidates.

Virtual vs Reality, Human vs Robot.
My assignment focus on human and intelligent robot.The riot between human and robot.
I use image to metaphor that robot could be a tragedy in human society.

“History repeats itself first as tragedy second as farce” from Karl Marx.
In the future, What if intelligent control the society?

The venus flytrap is an example of a loop feedback system. Even though they can some get nutrients from air and soil, it is healthier for them to get nutrients from insects. The leaves of venus flytrap open wide. As insects approach, the trigger hairs sense the movement. As they sense movement, the leaves snap shut. The trap then forms an air-tight seal in order to keep the digestive fluids inside and bacteria out. The digestive fluids dissolve the soft, inner parts of the insect, but not the exoskeleton. The trap will reabsorbs the digestive fluids and reopens. The leftover parts will be blown away by wind or rain. The trap is again ready for its next prey. This system is a cycle where the insects trigger the trap, the trap digests the insect and reopen for the next insect to come.

Dubberly, Pangaro and Haque, “What is Interaction? Are there diferent types?” Interactions, v.XVI.1, 2009.

This video is portraying determinate dynamic systems in the forms of  action and reaction, the system and the viewer. Systems construct their audiences, who often go onto constructing their own systems. These systems are ideas and concepts being transmitted through networks of social interaction, digital and physical medias. Frequently these systems are isolated due to the source of their transmittance, which leads to data being misrepresented or improperly understood.

The video is an introduction to conversation theory by Gordon Pask. Using an example of babyx this presentation, explores the role of feedback in learning based on conversation model.

Babyx is a project of Auckland’s Bioengineering Institute Laboratory for Animate Technologies, for the creation of a virtual animated baby that learns and reacts like a human baby. It uses the computer’s cameras for “seeing” and microphones to “listen” as the inputs. The computer uses Artificial intelligence algorithms for BabyX’s “learning” and interpretation of the inputs (voice and image) to understand the situation. The result is a virtual toddler that can learn to read, recognize objects and “understand.” The output is the baby’s face that can “speak” and express its mood by facial expressions (such as smile and show embarrassment), link.

This video is portraying determinate dynamic systems in the forms of  ideas/beliefs/ways of life, that are isolated ecosystems of information. These systems come in many forms – both good and bad for society, but most importantly they effect our reality. When systems of information are misrepresented or become too isolated from the greater information network, societal errors occur.

This is a video study on how technologies negotiate the construction of perception, challenging conventional boundaries between the real and the virtual. Major perceptual shifts produced by an interplay of architecture, media and technology are here played out in three parts.

ACT 1
Cultural constructions of nature as an ideal, boundless territory. In the early days of the Internet, this sense of optimistic euphoria echoed across cyberspace.
ACT 2
Telecommunication and television networks shook the physical boundaries of space. Broadcasted on the news are major 20th century events that disolved natural and manmade borders, coexisting with and flattened by consumerist propaganda.
ACT 3
The impact of the personal computer connected to the Internet erodes the established socio-cultural ground and draws a different connection to the landscape. Consequently, the transition from computer to environment challenges the realness of the latter.

In overall, this study reflects on what is real or just perceived as such. How is the definition of reality contingent on the context and subject to change over time? What potential do moments of transition hold? What is lost and gained by the understanding of boundaries as conventions waiting to be transcended?

In the end, W. Ross Ashby mentions that ” the artificial generation of dynamic systems with “life” and “intelligence” is not merely simple- it is unavoidable if only the basic requirement are met.”

My assignment focus on human and intelligent robot.

In the future, how construction of human and intelligent system will be?

Feedback is essential to form a communication. According to Douglas Englebart in Dubberly’s “What is interaction? Are there different types?,” there are three levels of feedback. The first level is the linear system which is a basic processes of input and output. The second level is the self-regulating system which improves the basic process. The third level, learning system, identifies and shares process for the improvement. The example of venus flytrap plant is a linear system. It is a biological example where an input causes an unconscious output. Every time an insect triggers the plant, it sends a small electrical signal to the leaf and the trap shuts. The input in this system is the movement of the prey, or insects. The output is when the predator, or venus flytrap, senses the prey and closes the trap.
