Det er som vi befinner oss i en overgangsperiode der det fortsatt ikke finnes en form for det digitale, i alle fall ikke en form som er mer selvsagt enn den analoge versjonen.

Ludology/Narratology
Is a game a system of rules, or is a game a kind of narrative? or rather: Is a game a system of rules, like a story is a system of narration?
The Centipede's Dilemma
A centipede was happy quite, until a toad in fun
Said, "Pray, which leg comes after which?"
This raised her doubts to such a pitch
She fell distracted in the ditch
Not knowing how to run.
Gamification

Wunderkabinett
Cabinets of curiosities, also known as ‘wonder rooms’, were small collections of extraordinary objects which, like today’s museums, attempted to categorise and tell stories about the wonders and oddities of the natural world. The scenes were intended to work like plays or stories, representing particular themes or ideas - that, for example, our life on earth is short.

Jonathan Blow
I’m a person, who has a lot of things that I think about, about the world and things that I wonder about, and sort of mysteries that I’m interested in; everybody has their own little idea of what living life well means, and I have that idea, and it doesn’t have very much to do with shooting a lot of guys in the head

The Last Question
Sci-fi short story by Isaac Asimov
21st century education
The meaning of knowing today has shifted from being able to recall and repeat information to being able to find it, evaluate it and use it compellingly at the right time and in the right context.
Our children are living in the most intensely stimulating period in the history of the earth.

Postcapitalism
By creating millions of networked people, financially exploited but with the whole of human intelligence one thumb-swipe away, info-capitalism has created a new agent of change in history: the educated and connected human being.

Om kunsten å lese og skrive
Lesingen er en arena hvor forfatteren og leseren sammen oppfører et fantasiskuespill. Det er ikke bare forfatteren som er kreativ, men leseren også. Den gode forfatter vet dette og innbyr leseren til samarbeid.

Albrecht Dürer
Escape the Room
Escape the room, also known as room escape or escape game, is a subgenre of point-and-click adventure game which requires a player to escape from imprisonment by exploiting their surroundings. The room usually consists of a locked door, objects to manipulate, and hidden clues or secret compartments. The player must use the objects to interact with other items in the room to reveal a way to escape.
Words Made Flesh
Executable code existed centuries before the invention of the computer in magic, Kabbalah, musical composition and experimental poetry. Symbols turn physical, and words are made flesh.

What is code?
One, there’s no magic, no matter how much it looks like there is. There’s just work to make things look like magic. And two, it’s crazy in there.

Articles
We spend hours designing for a medium that’s interactive and responsive, but we start by producing mockups that are static and inflexible. If great design is not only aesthetics but also how it works, then it’s time to make development part of the creative process.

Program or be programmed
We are intimidated by the whole notion of programming, seeing it as a chore for mathematically inclined menials rather than a language through which we can recreate the world on our own terms.

Prosjektbeskrivelse
Er enhjørningen et uoppnåelig ideal? Hva skal min rolle som designer være? Hva skjer i krysningspunktet mellom kode og form? Hva er det som vekker nysgjerrighet og viljen til å forstå?
Linda Liukas
The more approachable we feel technology is, the more we play with systems, take them apart, tweak and tinker with them, the better sense of what's possible we have.

Indistinguishable from magic
When Aleister Crowley defined magic as “the Science and Art of causing Change to occur in conformity with Will,” he might as easily have been describing technology. In fact, “magic” is still the word we use to encompass the wonders of a new technology before it becomes ubiquitous. (more)

Kanskje datamaskina er nøyaktig som boka, og vi må lete dypere for å forstå dens potensial. Dette er vanskeligere i datamaskina enn det er i boka, fordi datamaskinas innhold er nærmest ubegrensa - som gjør potensialet for distraksjon uendelig stort, og som krever mer av hjernen vår.

Computer games are fulfilling a genuine human need that the real world is currently unable to satisfy. They are rewarding, teaching, and inspiring in a way that reality is not

Magic Box
The craft of programming is helping to further traditional craft aesthetics and production in present-day culture. Experiment and play are vital in craft practice. Play lets you learn, which is why it still lies at the heart of art and design education. And the computer can very effectively introduce play; digital media, with their instant reversibility and ability to simulate, can withstand sustained experimentation where other formats would disintegrate.

Jonathan Harris
Life is very messy and chaotic, but when you’re building a computer program, it’s incredibly orderly. You know where everything goes and you can obsess over every little detail, so you can live in this perfect, imaginary universe. You can engineer a reality and then live in that reality for most of your days. That reality can be free of conflict, free of complexity and emotions.. It’s very utopian.
