what are new media? - second lecture

The topic was 'what are new media's second lecture, and the subsidiary theme was non-technical and inclusive.

First, inclusive media was compared with exclusive media. Two have been expending new media. They have been going to "digitalize". Maybe it looks like having an effect on soongsil's main theme,digital brain.

Dick Higgins claimed pure medium was going to intermedium. Besides, it enlarged new media. Originally, in old times, it was widely liked 'catagorized' and 'compartment', and it related with feudel. However, it have been changed. Every media is going new media. Any trifling thing is being related with new media.

Denotation and connotation was compared. It's on Semiotics. However, it's not just related with Semiotics. There're so many things on media. There's not any things just denotation on media. Today, we have to take cognizance of many connotations on media. It's new media, I thought.

The Second Lecture : What are New Media

The last lecture's topic was 'What are New Media'.

Man who announced his prepared paper last time make compare Media with New Media, the media as an institution, intensity of change, and so on. I thought media & new media were related with just past & present. But I became to know I was just simple.

According to Dr.Yoon's word, media & new media related with modernity & post-mordernity. By changing our life, media have been also changed. At first, the word 'Media' was originated in 'medium'. For example, it's like egg white for attaching color powder on wall or paper in painting, paper, megagine, newspapers, TV for making communicating people. In accordance with time went by, media have been changed, it settled down as one of culture. Besides, as computer have been developed and our life have been innovative, media brought about new media. It became a new technoculture..

This lecture made me meditating on new media, is the Yoon's last session lecture topic. It entertained me,and already made to expect next lecture.

Theoretical Background : Traditional Thoughts on Art

The class was going on speaking English from the second class.
I was nervous, but my anxiety was getting loose because of class' atmosphere. It was harmonious between Dr.Yoon and students. I felt this is going to be more interesting class than I expected.

Main idea of the first lecture was 'Theoretic Background : Traditional Thoughts on Art'.
Plato, Aristoteles, Greek mythology, Hume, Kant, Hegel, Goodman, Heidegger.. I knew that there are many philosophers and they are all related with Art.

After class, I called to mind something. In my opinion, Art is the abstruseness thing. In drawing, playing, sounds, performance, and others... Although Some other people may think art is just one of artist's exclusive possession, my opinion is quite diffrent. I think art is all people's hobby, speciality, mind, life...that is all people's one.

I'm expecting next lecture now.
