About the course
"Shaping Media" can be read both as active and passive, as "the medium that shapes" or "the medium that is to be shaped". This seminar will use the notion of medium as an artificial, but hardly visible conceptual space, formed by personal expectations, cultural conventions and technical restrictions. A medium is a "possibility space" (Will Wright / Niklas Luhmann) which can be created or be used for creation, to foster e.g. learning. Pedagogic Media Theory is an approach to include cultural, media historical, and educational aspects for understanding existing and developing new medial environments for teaching (sic) and learning.

Two monks were watching a flag flapping in the wind. One said to the other, “The flag is moving.” The other replied, “The wind is moving.” Huineng overheard this. He said, “Not the flag, not the wind; mind is moving.” … Continue reading

Notes for Noora

The contest between two artists, Zeuxis and Parrhasios Two ancient artists competing against each other: Zeuxis paints grapes so realistic, that birds try to eat them. Parrhasios paints a curtain ‘hiding’ his painting, which is so realistic that the other … Continue reading

Reply to Jenny: Blind spots and “She who measures”
About Heinz von Foerster’s notion of a “Blind Spot” Link to Jennys’ blogpost I refer to. Jenny: “Somehow I feel that we are scared of thinking far beyond and making desitions upon those thoughts.” It is a conflict between safety … Continue reading
