This week is the last week of this semester's class. We learned about concepts of media we have learnt so far. After a student's presentation, professor gave us short summary about what we learned during a semester. It was what art is, who I am and the changes of media artwork as time passes.
At thursday, The 2nd international digital image forum was helded in Han Kyung-jik memorial hall. I attended this forum from 1 p.m to 2 p.m.

1. The extent of the 'extensions of man'
Media is the extension of the part of man. Books are the extension of eyes and Wheels are the extension of legs. The more technology develops, the more media people use extends the part of man.
2. Short summary of this semester.
Before 2000s, media art didn't open to public and remained itself. But after 2000s, media art exposed to the audiences. Also academic, cultural, social barriers is being broken. Anyone who wants to make a piece of work even if he is amateur, it doesn't matter. I think boundaries of all fields of artwork will be destroyed.
3. The Future Direction and Current Development of User-centered Digital Imaging technology and Art(The 2nd International Digital Image Forum)
I arrived at 1:00 p.m and listened to the presentation of Professor Kim Hyung-ki. He introduced some existing works and his own works. He explained Cyclorama and Panorama. I think he is interested in visual elements. 'A Regular Tetrahedron' that is one of his artworks composed his body and fitted to tetrahedron. Included this work, many works represent visual changes. I felt comfort because of immersion what I was surrounded in his works.

1. Mapping Marshall Mcluhan and Williams
Mcluhan had an opinion like these as to a narrative of redemption.
Primitive Oral Culture - Literate Culture - Mechanical Printing - Electric Media
Mechanical printing was new technology in those days. Because of this printing, popularized culture started to emerge. Ahead of this, literate culture can be used and enjoyed by only the intellectuals. But, a content was passed by many people because many people must use and enjoy. In this process, a content was transformed. For example of drawing, a painting is painted by a drawer, passed to draftsman, carbor and printer. Thus, ancestors disliked and disrespected the mechanical method.
I think mechanical development is good to people but I'm against blind support about mechanical development.
2. The many virtues of Saint Mcluhan
We moved on to a discussion of three core theses that emerge from former ideas.

2. The many virtues of Saint Mcluhan
We moved on to a discussion of three core theses that emerge from former ideas.
- the extension thesis
- the environmental thesis
- the anti-content thesis
Mcluhan thought that these processes were going gradually. He said that "The medium is the message". In those days, a content was more important than a medium. People thought that newspaper existed for only transmitting contents. But People started to know that contents is harmed because of medium itself and thought that we should fit our contents into medium to transmit efficiently.
These days, environment around us is being changed everyday because of technology growth. Thus, the relationship between system and us, people and people is becoming new. In the new internet environment, I think words is being changed because of messenger and text messages etc.
