Rhizomatic Cartography: Modulated Mapping and the spatial net by Jeremy Hight. Mapping, or cartography to use the fancier term, is simply a tool that answers the question: where are we? This tool’s face and structure has only shown signs of fluidity in terms of name changes and borders, but deeper and subtler signs of fluidity and both physical and cultural evolution have yet to change the map’s nature until now with such technology as GIS and GPS. However, mapping in tools used is no longer static. We are in a time, arguably, that is the greatest cultural return to cartography and, in tandem, progression of mapping and related tools in several hundred years.
GPS units in cars and in phones are now ubiquitous and continually progressing in interface design and functionality. Locative media in several areas from art to modes of annotation of spaces are also evolving at a rapid rate. A confluence with increasingly sophisticated modes of social networking and data insemination of mapping and spatial augmentation, needs to occur.

Viral marketing, viral advertising, or marketing buzz are buzzwords referring to marketing techniques that use pre-existing social networking services and other technologies to try to produce increases in brand awareness or to achieve other marketing objectives (such as product sales) through self-replicating viral processes, analogous to the spread of viruses or computer viruses (cf. Internet memes and memetics). The ultimate goal of marketers interested in creating successful viral marketing programs is to create viral messages that appeal to individuals with high social networking potential (SNP) and that have a high probability of being presented and spread by these individuals and their competitors in their communications with others in a short period of time.[5] The term "VRL marketing" has also been used pejoratively to refer to stealth marketing campaigns—marketing strategies that advertise a product to people without them knowing they are being marketed to.[6] History[edit]
Blender Foundation. From May 3 to 6, 2011, Germany’s most popular conference and exhibit on Computer Graphics will be held in Stuttgart again. Blender Foundation will have a corner booth, with two desks and 2 systems showcasing Blender 2.5 progress and the film projects we’ve done. Apart from Ton Roosendaal, who will be present all four days, several artists have already committed to join the demo crew: Thomas Dinges, Sebastian Koenig, Gottfried Hofman, Tobias Kummer. If you’re interested to help out, contact us on the address below. If you are from the press or writing for magazines or websites, you can mail us for an appointment or interviews as well. The Blender booth will also be a great hotspot to meet with other Blender artists, and make appointments for sharing a good German beer and dinner after the show. :) Special thanks to FMX for offering us an official Partner status, to Francesco Faranna from Breitbild VFX for lending us the hardware, and to Thomas Dinges to coordinate this all.
See you soon! The Zeitgeist Film Series Gateway | Zeitgeist: The Movie, Zeitgeist: Addendum, Zeitgeist Moving Forward. Since the original public performance of "Zeitgeist" in 2007, there has been an evolution of intent which has manifested into an on-going film expression consisting now of multiple productions. While each film stands on its own with regard to content, the Zeitgeist Film Series as a whole has a dedicated social intent to create awareness about the world we share, the problems we face, along with what we can do to make it better as a collective species.
As the definition of "Zeitgeist" states, we are dealing with the "intellectual/spiritual/cultural awareness of the time" and it is the goal of this project to explore what makes us who we are, how we relate, what we are doing and what we should be doing if we wish to live in a peaceful, abundant, and healthy global community.
Paired with this is the interest in a free, uninhibited information/media project. As alluded to above, the history of "Zeitgeist: The Movie" is not what many assume. [Late Update: July 16th 2012] D.I.Y. or Die: How to Survive as an Independent Artist.

The DVD was released (under the title "D.I.Y. or Die: Burn This DVD") with no region restrictions or copy protection. Director Michael W. Dean allowed and even encouraged people to make copies for non-commercial use.[3] References[edit] External links[edit]
DIY ethic. Boy building a model airplane DIY ethic refers to the ethic of self-sufficiency through completing tasks without the aid of a paid expert. Literally meaning "do it yourself," the DIY ethic promotes the idea that anyone is capable of performing a variety of tasks rather than relying on paid specialists. The DIY ethic requires that the adherent seeks out the knowledge required to complete a given task. The term can refer to a variety of disciplines, including home improvement, first aid or creative works. Rather than belittling or showing disdain for those who engage in manual labor or skilled crafts, DIY champions the average individual seeking such knowledge and expertise. Central to the ethic is the empowerment of individuals and communities, encouraging the employment of alternative approaches when faced with bureaucratic or societal obstacles to achieving their objectives.

The Genealogy of Vidding. The Three Houses of Vidding As a side-effect of the communal sharing of video editing technology, groups of fans would also teach each other techniques and as a result certain aesthetics were developed among these groups. At Vividcon 2005, Rachael Sabotini presented her genealogy of vidding panel opposite to the Luminosity's showing of Scooby Road, describing what she called three great houses of vidding, grouping and contextualizing three major aesthetics in the VCR Vidding era. While vidding in this era was more subtle(?) (and there was certainly a great deal going on outside these three aesthetics), the groups in these great houses were prominent and influential in fandom vid-making, and the aesthetic differences reveal how the artform has developed over time. The MediaWest tradition Videos produced for show at MediaWest have, historically, focused on accessibility of an idea to an audience.

The Seven Deadly Fanons of Characterization: a Spotter's Guide by Dorothy Marley was a meta essay posted on the Fanfic Symposium website. For other essays in this series see Fanfic Symposium/Essays. Marley proposed seven major fanon cliches that characters from different fandoms tended to be shoe-horned into. From the introduction: "The following Guide is intended to help identify these curious beasts, since they will almost always take the names of actual Canon characters and--sometimes, but not always--adopt their physical appearance as well.
This checklist will hopefully enable the cautious Explorer to distinguish those characteristics most often demonstrated by a typical Fanon, and thus avoid being deceived into thinking that they are an actual Canon. " The seven cliches are as follows: The Wimp The Cretin The Villain The Dirty Angel The Saint The Slut The Lovebirds. The Life Cycle of Vid and Vidder. Media Cannibals. They also published the zine Guilty Pleasures. From that zine: "So, like, who are these people? The Media Cannibals are a loose-knit group of people who live in the Seattle area who like to do fannish things collectively. Spearcarrying Cannibals visit often from other parts of the country. " Influential Works and Activities Some say they were the Beatles of their vidding generation.[2] They regularly collected their work into tapes and kept those vid collections advertized and "in print" at a time when songtapes were hard to find.
Vidders in the Collective Many vidders contributed to the creation of the Media Cannibals tape collections.
