Q. Is the desktop metaphor going to continue to dominate how we relate to computers, or is there some other metaphor you like better?

A. To have a new metaphor, you really need new issues. The desktop metaphor was invented because one, you were a stand-alone device, and two, you had to manage your own storage. That’s a very big thing in the desktop world. And that may go away. You may not have to manage your own storage. You may not store much before too long.

The minute that I don’t have to manage my own storage, and the minute I live primarily in a connected versus a stand-alone world, there are new options for metaphors.

Who said this?

It was Steve Jobs in the Feb 1996 Wired interview by Gary Wolf, that’s over 16 years ago folks. Before the commercialization of the web, before returning to Apple.

Amazing …

P.S. Why did I find this? Because I am working on a new media arts piece and going through all my old Wired magazines.

Niagara Falls, in addition to the two currently operational hydro-electric plants (one Canadian, one US), has four decommissioned plants. Michael Cook has explored and photographed all of them. You owe it to yourself to explore his exploration, it is wondrous.

I’ve been lax in my posting … so here’s a follow-up to The Kinetic Approach project. I was honoured by Celeste Prize 2011 New York as a finalist in the Live Media & Performance category. The trip to New York and the exhibition at the Invisible Dog Art Center in Brooklyn went very well. I met some great people, saw some incredible art and performances in the show, and reacquainted myself with NYC after not visiting for a very long time.

I would say “finger-drumming virtuoso” is a gross understatement. Jeremy Ellis going absolutely insane on the new Maschine Mikro from Native Instruments.
