This is a complex, but wonderful, fascinating talk by theatre studies/architecture and genuinely transdisciplinary thinker Keller Easterling. She really is a highly original thinker about the kinds of things we’ve been talking about these past few weeks.

Ted Nelson, one of the most interesting people in the history of personal computing, is speaking at Sydney University this week. His topic: “The Computer World Could Be Completely Different“. He is a radical thinker about publishing, to say the least. Quote from his web site:
“Before the personal computer, and before the Web, there was Theodor Holm Nelson, who almost half a century ago understood how computers would transform the printed page.”–John Markoff in the New York Times, 2009.01.10

If you’ve never seen this Arcade Fire interactive from a little while back, it’s really interesting, in itself, and as an example of highly innovative publishing and marketing. You need to view it in the Chrome browser though … also a specific and unusual constitution of a public through publishing that is even subtler than it seems.
