Up till now I have participated.You could even say as a part of the bubble and working as a post-bubble consultant I’m an active agent in designing the spaces that shape webgen behaviors and communities. But my participation in the digital domain (I help shape and design) is limited by webgen standards. I was there when there was no such thing as ubiquitous cable and satellite connections. Growing up in a lower middle class family I remember getting our first color TV. I had a B/W (with no coax input) in my room until I was 15. A Saturday trip to the arcade was my computer culture and social networking site.

This weekend in the Berhshires I captured some photographs of trees at night. These images were adjusted using on Auto Levels in Photoshop. Natural contrasts emerged from the original data to reveal almost impressionistic facets of light.

Abstract
If so much of our current mental state (i.e., what in actuality constitutes our worlds) is about constant distractions and just simply not being able to slow down, then how about finding more drastic measures for slowing the world down? A mental space must be created to allow for slowing down time to focus the thoughts. In meditation the general idea is to fine one thought (mantra) and repeat it continuously to induce a state of detachment from mind, really the "thinking" process.

The things that hold our attentions and create our distractions are the things that we hold so dear and we interface with those things through the screen. This is our window into knowledge of information "in the world". Our memory, even with sufficient training, could not possibly retain The reason this information is so crucial to us as knowledge of the worldThe Death Machine takes advantage of this relationship by creating a barrier between you and this precious information.

Abstract
As a consumer of oil and oil-based goods I can, if I desire, through a long and arduous process monitor my footprint in some limited form. I can never fully know the impact and extent of my true footprint but I will eventually desire to know this as a consumer and businesses will desire this data as well and cater to it.

If the objects and processes (SPIMES) that make-up my footprint can be tracked through an extensive set of meta-data consisting of commercial life and user metrics then my behaviors may likewise be tracked as well. This could be combined to create a psychometric meta-data about my footprint behaviors.

Modern supplementation has added a layer of mental need to the immediate physical needs these technologies have attended to for so many centuries. And the degree of supplementation of any society is directly proportional to its capacity for creating increasingly complex materials and processes of manufacturing.
