April 24, 1973. “Interview with Lt. Commander John S. McCain, Vietnam prisoner of war.” Medium format negative by Thomas J. O’Halloran.
The color schemes along with the photography for the Bottega Veneta ads are an impeccable way of presenting the creations of Tomas Maier, the Italian company’s designer.

Artifact Memory
Some people view the most important moments of their lives through the aperture of a video camera. Others bookmark their engagement with the world with a flash and a smile upon a still image.
Further, the physical manifestation of note-taking assumes the laborous quality of the physical act of a pen across a page, given its technological alternatives.
This process of creating artifacts for the future has fueled a great deal of curiousity for me.
How will ubiquitous computing augment our ability to store and share personally intimate memories? As the mechanisms for recording our experiences in data streams are coming to life, will a photograph remain as personally moving as a screenshot, an immersive 3d visualization, or a predictive algorhythm for new kinds of temporal interaction?

Augmented Cognition
“Limitations in human cognition are due to intrinsic restrictions in the number of mental tasks that a person can execute at one time, and this capacity itself may fluctuate from moment to moment depending on a host of factors including mental fatigue, novelty, boredom and stress. As computational interfaces have become more prevalent in society and increasingly complex with regard to the volume and type of information presented, researchers have investigated novel ways to detect these bottlenecks and have devised and continue to determine strategies to aid users and improve their performance by effectively accommodating capabilities and limitations in human information processing and decision making.”Augmented Cognition International Society
Age of Conversation 2 - An excerpt
Having collaborated on the first “Age of Conversation” book, I saw the opportunity to help write the second edition as a method for launching the idea of a conversation on social media a step forward. Last year, my chapter titled “It Is Not Enough To Simply Listen,” focused upon the need for brands to embrace the participation element of online conversation. This year, I chose to take the long view of persistent interaction and forecast the ramifications of the trail of digital artifacts we distribute over time.
An interview conducted in Second Life with my friend, Duc Ly
Ryan Barrett over at at CheapThrills offered to collect quotes from authors’ submissions. I wanted to post the quote from my article, titled, “A Trail of Digital Breadcrumbs,” here at Collaborative Ideation.

The Age of Conversation II
” … every observable action is an artifact of who we are and how we interact with the world. By making public our hearts and minds in the language of shared data, we have the potential to not only interact with the present; we may at some point converse with the future.”
As a release date draws closer, I will share the news. I look forward to reading the full submissions written by the rest of the authors this fall.
