Networking
Cybernetics and counterculture
• Investigated some of the conceptual advances from Military/Industrial Complex
• Saw how they permeated and informed the counterculture during the 1960s and 1970s– Whole Earth Catalogue
• If the counterculture must use the tools of the MI complex is there an outside to “the system”?
Hyperreal
• If there is no outside, how can we tell what is real?
• Hyperreal as a stae where “values” can’t be determined
• Too much information
• Extension of the computer into our personal lives
This ain’t your father’s reality
• How a state of “real virtuality” permeates current life– Network-The genesis of new social
“structures”– Identity-The possibility/challenge for
new personas– Lives-New ideas about life and creation– Affect-What does it mean “to feel”
Virtually real
• Real virtuality significantly different than previous ways of thinking about reality.
• We can’t describe it by removing ourselves from it (Descartes)
• We must describe it imminently (from the inside)
• The rest of the class to build these tools
Manuel Castells
• Geographer and Social Theorist
• Informational City (1989)– Puts forward the theory of
the super city
• The Information Age: Economy, Society, Culture (1996-1998, rev. 2000)– Map out the dynamics of the
Information Age
Points to build on
• Space of Flows– Information develops because of the
need to regulate flows
• Timeless Time– Specific sense of timelessness and
spacelessness associated with this space
Implications
• Development and Networks– Need an industrial infrastructure
• Information dependent upon industry (but wants to hide it (outsourcing)
– Apparent exception cell phones
– Concentration of resources within urban areas
– Urban areas looking more and more “alike”• Local culture often there for packaging
Non-scalar networks
• Developed by social theorists and graph theorists
• An emergent complex network containing many highly connected hubs
• Not a uniformly distributed network
How do scale free networks emerge?
• Nodes are added one at a time
• Probability of attachment proportional to attachee’s number of connections– Popular attachments
