Its temperature can be regulated through another device we interact with ourselves. It is being told a certain temperature.
Effecting us positively, it can only get more efficient as it gets developed. It is there to solve the issue of preserving food; instead of having to store it in bags of salt, we lower the temperature to slow down our only source of energy from naturally curdling.
We have even adapted to putting things in the fridge that don't need to go in the fridge, simply because we prefer it colder than room temperature (for example, Ketchup), or that we are in the mind set that it keeps it more fresh for longer, (another example, eggs).
This particular machine is neither animated, worshipped nor dominated. We are simply responsible for it to keep our food fresh.]]> 2020-10-30 12:58:35 UTC https://padlet.com/sophieclarke1_2/y79n0h2wkcunaajt/wish/876182905 sophieclarke1_2 https://padlet.com/sophieclarke1_2/y79n0h2wkcunaajt/wish/876230239 - Technology should be encouraged and embraced.

- We should focus more on developing what we NEED before what we WANT. (i.e. Too many iPhones in one year, we don't need that many)!

1. My Experience: Without the pen I would have no way to show my ability as an artist. It marks whatever my brain communicates to my hand onto paper. It is a tube of ink designed to creat marks.
 
2. Directing Actions: Coming in many different shapes and sizes, some would mean I have to un cap it and re cap it when in use. Otherwise, they would not be properly looked after, since I use them a lot, I do not want that to happen. The pen allows me to communicate on many levels, whether in writing or in drawings. This form of communication can be very powerful; hence the phrase "the pen is mightier than the sword".

3. Other People's Behaviour: As the pen is very common, lots of people use it in different ways. History has used it to creat revolutionary papers, like the Declaration of Independence. Or DaVinci's Vitruvian Man. 
Juxtaposing this, people also may use it for vandalism in bathroom stalls, or passing notes across a room.

4. Varied Interactions: As mentioned above, not everyone reacts the same way. Like everything, the pen can write history, or can hurt someone's feelings. The scale of its power and its uses are gargantuan.

5. Regulate Misbehaviour: The pen has no control as to how it is being used. Graffiti and vandalism is caused with pen but never regulated. Hurtful words on a post-it note can be caused by pen, but cannot be un-read by those reading the written words. The only thing that would stop a pen from communicating written words is if the person using it were illiterate. However, even still, it would not stop them from drawing with that same pen.

6. Breaking Down: A pen can break, dry-up, run out of ink, or get lost. But there are so many pens that it means little-to-nothing for anyone. Noone is attached to pens. Yet its power is taken for granted. The easiest thing to do is just pick up another pen. Noone bats an eye if a single pen is lost. Even today, if all the pens in the world vanished, technology is too far gone beyond the pen that people would not mourn for it. Except for maybe artists like myself. I would mourn the pen.]]> 2020-11-06 11:13:36 UTC https://padlet.com/sophieclarke1_2/y79n0h2wkcunaajt/wish/897204933 sophieclarke1_2 https://padlet.com/sophieclarke1_2/y79n0h2wkcunaajt/wish/897274785 From Task Fiction 1 on Week 2 Padlet - My Comment:

(In context to how the Metropolis Clips relate to the writings of the Key Thinkers)

"The idea that people are restricted by our own inventions. We are just as wound up as the clockwork we make; this alienates and de-humanises us.
Though, the difference betweem ourselves and the clockwork, is we are capable to look outside, realise we are clockwork, and have the ability to change that if we really wanted.

1. Machines in movies; Pixar - the Pixar theory - machines in Pixar - good and bad morals that Pixar portray.

2. Machines within a hospital - they can save lives - make lives better - give hope.

3. The pen - the invention and history of the pen - the tool that wrote the calculations to creat machines themselves - if we have all of this tech that could easily replace a pen then why is it even still around.]]> 2020-11-06 16:02:19 UTC https://padlet.com/sophieclarke1_2/y79n0h2wkcunaajt/wish/898055700 sophieclarke1_2 https://padlet.com/sophieclarke1_2/y79n0h2wkcunaajt/wish/898079824 As an animation company that put most of their effort into the stories they show, their take on the technology of the world has taken many varied forms; to Monster's Inc in 2001, Wall.E in 2008 and Onward in 2020. The list goes on.

I want to explore each of these stories individually and then together (through the Pixar Theory) to see exaclty what message Pixar may be telling us through each of these movies. They all end well, but they all have a clear warning; despite the movies being fictional, they are still based off the real world in some way.]]> 2020-11-06 16:08:11 UTC https://padlet.com/sophieclarke1_2/y79n0h2wkcunaajt/wish/898079824 sophieclarke1_2 https://padlet.com/sophieclarke1_2/y79n0h2wkcunaajt/wish/898121050 - Look into the Pixar Theory, how it gives a timeline of the world they've created.
- Research into the brainstorming ideas that Pixar go through to send messages and morals through their stories. How their stories are aimed at a specific audience for a purpose. What might the purposes be.
- Is Pixar concerned that our world may not listen to their intended messages? Or is it all just a nice story?]]> 2020-11-06 16:17:58 UTC https://padlet.com/sophieclarke1_2/y79n0h2wkcunaajt/wish/898121050 sophieclarke1_2 https://padlet.com/sophieclarke1_2/y79n0h2wkcunaajt/wish/919682237 What roles does Anthropomorphism play in Pixar's Wall.E, Cars and Luxo Jr?

- Wall.E, human behaviour vs A.I.
- Cars, not a single human.
- Luxo Jr. The objects have no physical human features, yet we recognise them as living.
- Focus on mechanical parts.

- Pixar Theory and technology.

- Toy Story. Sid re-structuring the toys.

- "Animals who are charicatures of certain types of people are funny to adults and children alike." pg 2
- "Anthropomorphism will probably always be with us as mankind, increasingly dependant on technology, will find enjoyment in nature and will be creative in projecting his humanity onto it.

- "I propose the term 'Technological Animism' to describe the conceptual model of personhood that emerges in the interaction between fiction, robotics, and culturally specific modles of personhood, which may already include non-human persons." pg 2
- "American robotics distinguish their technoscientific practice from mainstream (Judeo-Christian) religion, but they rely on fiction as a context for making, designing, and imbuing robots with animistic qualities." pg 3

- "He explained that the design and utilisation of child development models for his group's robots was effectively a reaction to the threatening images of robots popularised through fiction and film." pg 6
- "Roboticists anticipate that a robot designed to look like an infant or young child, or otherwise to look cute, will be less threatening and will elicit more engagement." pg 6
- "At the former Artificial Intelligence Lab at MIT, roboticist Cynthia Breazeal imaginatively employed the techniques of Disney animators to make her robots cute." pg 6
- "...encourage adults to interact with them, even if the interaction requires extra effort on the part of the adult to maintain it." pg 6/7

- "...the expectation is that the more human-like the robot appears, the more it should behave in human-like ways." pg 8
- "Behaviour and appearance nnet to connect; otherwise...the entity is frightning." pg 8
- Uncanny: "It can be consequence of the difficulty in judging 'whether something is animate or inanimate' (ibid.: 141) or the confusion when something not alive 'bears an excessive likeness to the living' (ibid.)." pg 9
- "In Freud's View: 'The fairy tale is quite openly comitted to the animistic view that thoughts and wishes are all-powerful, but I cannot cite one genuine fairy tale in which anything uncanny occurs. We are told that it is highly uncanny when inanimate objects...come to life, but in Hans Amdersen's stories of household utensils, the furniture and the tin soldier are alive, and perhaps nothing is farther removed from the uncanny. Even when Pygmalion's beautiful statue comes to life, this is hardly felt to be uncanny.' (ibid.: 153)." pg 9
