The first question I clicked on was “How does music look like?”. The interesting part of the question was how with code now we have the chance to see music and not just hear it. Code is thus challenging the relationship between our senses and given object. It is the tool where we create new bridges if sensations, something without code would have been impossible. So “has the internet made us more creative?” Aaron Koblin points out we now have access to what is in other people’s mind. It is not just an idea, it is a structure that we can add on and get inspired with. Which brings us to the concept of social medial. Sharing is not only through github through uploading a certain code that people can manipulate, we use the internet to share human relation as well. Lauren Mccarthy stresses on the importance of what we decide to share on social media as well. All these thought influence what information we see, there is no randomness. This is the core of my thesis concept where I critique the prevalence of filter bubbles over the internet. On one hand, CLOUDS discusses the randomness of code and its important, but when it comes to social media or advertising, for example, is code really still random? Or do we assume that this is the internet and what it has to offer? In fact this could be the web of one; what the internet has to offer and how it is shaped for one user only. The fact that algorithms deliver data specifically for each person, what they see and when they see it, makes me wonder whether if the randomness of code is being obstructed. In fact the lack of randomness might have challenged serendipity as well. Away from this code within social media and advertising, it is interesting how CLOUDS highlighted how the artwork can influence current events. One way is data visualization. Kasrsten Schmidt suggest how proper use and presentation of data visualization can encourage people to look at matters they might not have been interested in. Fernanda Viegas used an interesting term to highlight this: “data literacy” not just for experts but as a society.
