Representations of Technology at UC Berkeley



Tomorrow rings in another semester at Berkeley and more good times. I'm teaching a Film Studies class on Representations of Technology, in which we will watch the following films, in addition to discussing video game-related new media art: Metropolis, The Man With a Movie Camera, Modern Times, Dr. Strangelove, 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Conversation, Blade Runner, Tron, WarGames, Videodrome. I'm pretty excited about this list!

Here is the course blog. BIG, BIG, BIG thank you's to 893 for making some awesome giffords, for the blog. (The one on the left is a pic of Orson Welles's performance of War of the Worlds, which we'll listen to in class, and the one on the right is from Tron! More to come!)

The url for David GersteinĀ“s essay is offline. I had to google it and "cache it".

the spam comment above i so stupid but yet so indicative of the kind of american idol stuff i receive every day that i thought i'd leave it. yesterday i got an email from a girl that said "My name is [x] and I am 11 years old. We should be email buddies. I want to be on American Idol Junior." Such emails frighten me for several reasons.
