Media Toy

information, knowledge, fun / a media toy by konst mp

O τρόπος με τον οποίο ένας άνθρωπος κατανοεί την πραγματικότητα και τις πληροφορίες που δέχεται, διαμορφώνει το πολιτιστικό του υπόβαθρο. Κατεπέκταση, οι πληροφορίες που παράγει και διακινεί ο ίδιος φέρουν και διδάσκουν την προσωπική του αντίληψη για τον κόσμο ταυτόχρονα διαμορφώνοντάς τον.

THE REALITY [I CHOOSE]

At October 30, 1938 Orson Welles directed and performed an adaptation of H.G. Wells' novel The War Of The Worlds over the Columbia Broadcasting System.

The show, however, was taken for real.

Fear was spread for sometime while people were leaving their homes and offices in panic.

The information been shared forms the reality we live in.

According to human mentality the Earth is not at the centre of the Universe at most during the past 300 years. Before that all information shared was considering Earth to be placed at the centre of the Universe while the sun, the moon and all the stars were circling around it. Opinions opposing this could even draw penalties such as displacement, torture and death.

The reality we live in is a fiction reality - meaning it is a product of human mentality.

Earth is no longer at the centre of the Universe, humans, however according to our beliefs, are. The reason for the world is to serve humanity, a belief that leads the actions of each one of us as well as of our species in total.

While playing Media Toy I choose what is good, what is bad, how I want my reality to be or how I don't want it to be, and share the information that describes this.

It won't be less real than anything else. It's simply a matter of belief and choice.

While playing Media Toy I value the knowledge that sharing the information is the way to make it real.

THE SHAPE OF THE INFORMATION, THE SHAPE OF THE WORLD

Fables, tales, myths are been produced by human mentality along with its existence.

The relation between mental products and human mentality has been ever since interactive. Mental products can form the human mentality as well as the social behaviors that occur from it, often opposing strongly the animal mentality and instincts.

Literary texts since 27th century BC are known to us.

Knowledge upon ethics, social forming and structure, along with practical matters, are been taught during all centuries through spoken fables.

The Epic of Gilgamesh and Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, are maybe the oldest examples especially regarding the round-Mediterranean civilizations.

Furthermore, the New Testament, regardless the variety of its content through time and various churches, has been the major doctrine for the pοst-roman-world for almost 1700 years.

The typeface press-printing on paper of the Bible (1455) by Johannes Gutenberg formed the context in which the Media, as we conceive it nowadays, have been growing upon ever since. This growing of the Media has been enormously accelerated by the computer technology during the end of the 20th century.

The recent years, the ability to share and gain information, has exceeded the traditional paths of the so-called Mass Media and gradually has been passing to the hands of all electronic device users.

Blogspot, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter are some major new paths of information.
