audience culture and the Video Screen

The TV program I watched last night was about the 79th Academy Awards. I payed attention on the red carpet fashion show. I was thinking about the simulation that the book mentioned ("Audience Culture and the Video Screen" ).
The informations that provided by TV programs are recorded informations. The audince had no chance to exprience the origianl events, but they can watch the events on TV to get the information. So the events are the recored events. The recordings are so good to stand for the real. We trust the recording. We believe it because the events are real, experience are valid. Since we have no direct exprience for the event, the performance, the movement, we can spontaneously "borrow" the the exprience from the media. The media sell the experience, and each individuals has different demands of these experiences. That is how simulation occured when we watch TV programs.

the interview with Mike Figgis

In the interview( The Interview With Mike Figgis), there is something caught my eyes.

1. The relationship between an audience and a film maker. What is a perfect audience? To Mike figgis, whose reason for making film is to see what is technically possible to do with film, the perfect audiences could be : enjoy the technique in the film, after watching a movie, they might say, " I have no clue what the story is about, but you have to check this out. Because i don't know how they did it."

2. How to measure time in a film? Is the plot incidental?
Mike Figgis definitly has an entirely different sense of time, a gait out of step with the rhythms of time common to the moving picture. Shooting a 93 minite film in four different scene synchronously, Figgis plit each action into four, and claimed that the relationship of these people anf their movement(actions and reactions) is arbitury and incidental. Meaning is achieved in the relations between synchronous time with different spaces in a system, not by telling a story.

art and Science

I like the artical about the big questions in science(Wired, Feb2007). I don't worry about the earth core, although I think the big bang is incredibal. I remember the science professor said the life start big bang. I am fasinated by the time topic and the myth of DNA. Just look at those questions: How does life arise from nonlife? What is sleep and why we need it? What is language? why is time different from other dimentions?
In acient chinese philosophies, time is related with space. The "universe" is made by "time" and "space". it is like a multifaced card game, in which a deck of cards is taken for play, by people in different time and space, playing differnet games, having different rules and languages. Either space or time, provide the rule of transformation for any particular line of flight and plane.
I don't want to talk about science here, since I am not a science person at all. But science has never been tight so close to art. I am looking at some GPS art works recently, GPS art is also a new art form that about time and space, an art from science.
