Well Understood

StefanL, 09.06.11, 16:45

The people who designed the title of this Austrian free newspaper are the only people who really understood the grid pattern that ORF On introduced into Austrian web design and developed it into a really efficient ad machine. Everybody else kinda just fetishized one aspect of this pattern and wrecked the pattern into a slight embaressment.

Media Hot & Cool - What is Media?

StefanL, 10.05.11, 17:50

In the last 2 weeks we have looked at a 1950ies synaesthetic concept and, using Prof. McLuhan's mindfigure of "hot and cool media" as an example, examined if metaphoric reflection and aphoristic communication still made sense at all in scientific and daily thinking and acting.

Media Hot & Cool - Its Origins in Music

StefanL, 02.05.11, 10:27

"Hot & cool" appear to be strange and even a bit woolly metaphors in McLuhan's conceptual world. Though they constitute an opposition they are on different points in the scale.
