In "Five Principles of New Media:Or, Playing Lev Manovich," Madeleine Sorapure offers interactive explanation and demonstration of the five principles of new media Manovich proposes, namely numerical representation, modularity, automation, variability, and transcoding. You can access the interactive Kairos article at:

Let's follow Sorapure's students' lead by demonstrating the principle of automation. Her students foud this principle the most thought provoking and perhaps disturbing, because it challenged their views on questions of originality, creativity, and authorship. Sorapure explains: "...they were compelled to examine how their interactions with the computer influenced the work they were to produce."
For next week, each of you should create a visual representation of a four-letter word. (You might look at Sorapure's students' projects for ideas.) You may use the Flip cameras, Photoshop or Flash to do this project. If you have another idea, let me know what it is as a comment to this post so the whole group can respond.

Hey I wrote on my hand where to go to get the programs for this class, but it has since worn out. Could you please tell me again how I would be able to get something like flash for this project?
