DISCOVERED in the 21stC: The Underlying Law of Nature.

The top 3 General Characteristics of The underlying law of nature are:

#1. The Way of All Things

#2. The Basis of All Laws and Principles

#3. The Basis of All Health, Growth, Efficacy and Efficiency

Google it – as a start.

The underlying law of nature may be the world's most useful, profitable and encouraging knowledge.

The empirical process for identifying the underlying law of nature was discovered in 2008. Soon we may all do so.

Good information

[LooseLatitude]

So they make these wheels to sell at a profit. Than use the consumers to gather data which they will than gain profits on again.

You know those images of words they use to confirm you're not a computer filling out masses of forms on the internet?

Those are words that were scanned from a book(digitized books) and didn't come out all that well. A company makes a profit on us to figure it out for them.

Digital serfdom.

@LooseLatitude No, they're actually called Captchas and they're computer generated. Search wikipedia for "Captcha" to find out more.

[LooseLatitude]

@sydrduke Search "reCAPTCHA".

[sydrduke]

@LooseLatitude Woah okay sorry! I stand corrected.

[sydrduke]

@LooseLatitude That's actually pretty scary that that goes on, I had no idea.

[LooseLatitude]

@sydrduke Pretty f'd up right? I was blown away when I first learned of it. Amazing how it's right there in front of you and you have absolutely no idea.

how does the bike collect pollution data?

[nall29]

ill check back in 20 or so mins. to read the responses to my question. this is somewhat new to me and im open to peoples opnions

[nall29]

on the bike thing... ?isent that kinda big brother?

[lipoicacid]

@nall29 Yes it is.Big Brother is already here.''1984'' was a warning.Orwell worked for British Intelligence and was aware of the long range plan.

[lialammas]

People understands the true, is uplifting to know that once we show how somethings are not good the human nature comes together to try to change this fact.

[kevintype]

Maps are art. They may not be a type of art that interests you, but a great many artistic decisions go into producing any truly useful map.

3:14 What can be more non-polluting than a human powered bike? Sounds totalitarian to me, tracking me where I went at what time... Creepy bike

[PSK11489]

1) He didn't say that the bike pollutes. It collects data on pollution in its vicinity.

2) Data is sent anonymously. You aren't being tracked. You aren't that important. The government and the corporations don't care that much.

[lipoicacid]

@PSK11489 Read ''Between Two Ages'' and you'll think differently.

[MikDonsen]

And the king of misleading names is....

[pedrogregorio]

looks like a visual model too me..

[globalarte]

Where is the art ?

[Bobbiethejean]

@globalarte Exactly. :(

[karoolta]

art is anything done well, i thought everything shown in this video was quite pretty. haha

[XaneCrazy]

@karoolta Art is anything with feeling put in so others can grasp it as the artist created it. Anything can be done "well" or efficient or even decent. But it's the feeling that arises when one understands what the artist creates with that or a certain feeling. Doesn't mean they have to take the interpretation of that art exactly how the artist wanted to portray it.

[karoolta]

i disagree, though its a rather pointless argument as it is a pretty impossible word to define.

[XaneCrazy]

@karoolta oh no then I guess we better not look at it's definition. :( That would make everyone cry if they found out the true meaning of what art imposes on others.

[bbbbmer]

VERY VERY interesting integration of multifaceted data....  VERY compelling!

[Ricky103]

nice models

[Bobbiethejean]

The full lecture is about Maps. >8{ The title is Digital, Life, Design 2010: Maps. How lame. I was hoping it would actually be a lecture on art and technology rather than friggin maps.

[m0nkeybl1tz]

@Bobbiethejean If you liked this stuff, I'd recommend the Aaron Koblin section, the Eric Rodenbeck section, and the Julieta Aranda section.

[Bobbiethejean]

@m0nkeybl1tz I liked the clip but the full lecture disappointed. I thought it was going to be generally about art and technology whereas the full lecture is about maps. :( I have no interest in maps, unfortunately for me. I can't fault Fora for that; I'm just disappointed because as a digital artist, I was hoping to hear something relevant to what I do.
