ABOUT MY WEBSITE?

I based my design on Deviant Art's, I created different categories depending on my artworks. My main idea for this website is to show how images can contain the same theme as music, in every image's page there is a small music player that plays a song or piece of music that relates to the image, also linked the name of the images with different videos. In other words music, images, and videos can interact with each other and in a way linking people's ideas through them. Also thanks to sites like deviant art, youtube and music sites like 4shared.com, people are able to show their works such as in deviant art and youtube or share their content in sites like 4shared.com..... Networks allow us to do all of this processes of sharing and presenting works and content which I think is very useful because now people are able to show their works of art easily, and also receive feedback from other people which may help them to do a better work in the future.

Arte Interactiva!!!

For this week post I will explain my idea for my Website assignment. I will create a website mimicking DeviantArt`s design. It will be similar to a portfolio but I will also add a couple of more features to it such as music and others. I want to show the interactivity between images and music, how they both are able to portray the same idea and feeling of a theme on their content. I have decided to name it ARTE Interactiva, not only because of the interactivity between arts and music but also giving it a little bit of my own taste. At the same time with this idea I want to show how networks allow us now to share our artworks with the whole world when we use these sites. We can meet people from other sides of the world and appreciate their talent. Also we can get some feedback from other people that may help us to get a better sense of what the world wants and to do a better job.

The Interconnected Society!!

For this week, I will discuss the readings from two articles assigned in class. Malcom Gadwell and Clay Shirky talk about the effect of the Media and how the Media connect the population of our society.

I believe that Shirky`s argument is more convincing because besides she tells you the story about this guy who helps his friend find her phone using his social network website, bringing a large amount of people involved in the issue of the cellphone to the point where they are able to find the person who had it (sasha), and even convinced the police to arrest her with the support of million of people who knew and were helping them on the search of the phone.

Shirky`s argument clearly shows how our society is connected through the media, how we are able to get information about people we don`t even know and how we can use it for our own benefit. Also shows a great example how the presence of all these people who knew about the loss of the phoned helped to press the police get involved and do something.

In her explanation of how Media has changed society and how people are social beings, she makes good points and the metaphor she gives about how people are like bees clearly exemplifies how people need of the media in order to make society subsist, because it would not be able to do it by itself.

It is incredible the power of the media!! how people are able to connect with others in a matter of even milliseconds and be able to share a topic or issue with million of people around the world. Indeed the Media has changed society in a way that most of the things we do are involved with it, from the tools we use at work to the spread of news.
