When one reality, or one world-view is superimposed on another, it is inevitable that social, economic and cultural problems arise. Hierarchies of worlds are constructs of a bygone era. Ecologies of worlds should guide us in considering our future… We can begin by designing environments that can respond to physical, environmental, or social needs. Not only the needs of human beings, but also of the organisms and elements with whom we share the Biosphere.” – <a href="http://fo.am/entangling" target="_blank">fo.am</a></em></p> <p><a href="http://secondlife.wikia.com/index.php/Rez" target="_blank">Rezzing</a> occurs in the space in-between worlds. <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=rez&amp;defid=1958482" target="_blank">Rezzing</a> happens in the moment we switch from one reality to another: where the structure of synthetic worlds is unveiled. We see these spaces appear gradually – textures, alpha channels and audio appear in layers. Forms start as simple grey patterns that morph and evolve via emergent detail. These patterns resolve as final forms that adhere to in-game physics and flop into “place”.</p> <p><a href="http://arsvirtuafoundation.org/research/2009/11/14/the-dynamics-of-rezzing-part-1/">Read the rest @ Augmentology.com</a></p> <p><a href="http://faces-l.net/F/content/reality-shifting-%E2%80%93-part-1-rezzing-augmentology-1l0l1">read more</a></p> http://faces-l.net/F/content/reality-shifting-%E2%80%93-part-1-rezzing-augmentology-1l0l1#comments gender mixed reality realityshifting Mon, 16 Nov 2009 18:03:25 +0000 azdelslade 480 at http://faces-l.net
