Hot vs. Cold... Media?

   So in terms of media, what really is "hot," and what is "cold"? It all depends on whether there is "high definition" or "low definition"; it depends on the concentration of data. The more mechanical something is, the hotter it is; opposite, the more rustic and less industrial something is, the cooler it is.
One way to look at "hot" and "cool" is to think: "performance" and "rehearsal," respectively. "Hot" is tightly uniform and packed, precise even; "cold" is more fluid, more flexible, not so definite.

   We can observe is that as technology develops, humans become bored with the present and past technology and look for better. Humanity becomes more dissatisfied, more prone to complaints rather than action because there is a dependency that is formed with the advancement of technology.

In this course, I think we work to combine the "hot" and the "cold" forms of media. We try to combine the mechanical and computational components with the abstractness of art and the creativity that doesn't come from technology but from being human and imaginative.
