People: The Tetra-Questions : Metta-Quadrents

"Media Ecology is the study of media environments,
the idea that technology (codes) and techniques (modes),
affect human perception, understanding, feeling, and value;
and how our interaction with media facilitates
or impedes our chances of survival."
- Integration of definitions by various Media Ecologists

* + ***
"the postindustrial and the postmodern,
& the preliterate and prehistoric."
- Lance Strate, Professor, Communication & Media Studies,
& Co-Founder, Media Ecology Association, Fordham University.

"the medium (figure) operates through its context (ground)"

**
Enhancement (figure) :
What does the (new) medium improve or enhance,
amplify or accelerate?

Obsolescence (ground) :
What is driven out of prominence, obsolesced,
pushed aside by the (new) medium?

Retrieval (figure) :
What earlier action or service is brought back into play
or recovered by the (new) medium? What older, previously lost ground
is brought back and becomes an essential part of the (new) medium?

Reversal (ground) :
When pushed to its limits or extremes, of its potential,
the (new) medium will reverse what was its original
characteristics. What is the potential reversal of the new form?

"What Ben Franklin Teaches us about Intellectual Property"
or “I Own Creative Content, Therefore I Am, Not”
MP3 AUDIO | MP4 VIDEO

- Lewis Hyde, Richard L. Thomas Professor of Creative Writing, Kenyon College &
Fellow, Berkman Center for Internet and Society, Harvard University
Author: Trickster Makes This World: Mischief, Myth, and Art

"We have lived by the assumption that
what was good for us would be good for the world.
We have been wrong.
We must change our lives, so that it will be possible
to live by the contrary assumption that
what is good for the world will be good for us. . .
We must recover the sense of the majesty of the creation
and the ability to be worshipful in its presence.
For it is only on the condition of humility and reverence before the world
that our species will be able to remain in it."
- Wendell Berry, American man of letters, academic and farmer

Organizations: Metropolitan Museum of Art Pioneering Open Access

Tuesday, March 27, 2007 - 01:52 AM

Initiative to Provide Digital Images to Scholars at No Charge
"In a new initiative designed to assist scholars with teaching, study, and the publication of academic works, The Metropolitan Museum of Art will distribute, free of charge, high-resolution digital images from an expanding array of works in its renowned collection for use in academic publications... effective immediately. Scholars – in higher education and in museums – have been struggling with the question of how digitization might help to enable, rather than hinder, scholarly communications. For all involved, it is obvious that, when faced with an important directional challenge, the Metropolitan is providing decisive leadership."

"...often referred to simply as "the Met", is one of the world's largest and most important art museums." (wikipedia) "It first opened on February 20, 1872 with a mission to collect, preserve, and display works of art spanning 5,000 years of world culture from every part of the globe, and to educate the public about art – is the most comprehensive art museum in the Western Hemisphere with a collection now including more than two million works of art."

The library's destruction remains a mystery. The dream of rebuilding the Ancient Library of Alexandria and of reviving the legacy of that great center for learning has long enticed the imagination of intellectuals and scientists all over the world. It is now a reality.
