| Research for this project
involves the internet. The internet holds society in one
big room. The pornography, politics, research, propaganda, entertainment
and education, is all available, in one big room...the internet.
Speech is free, really free on the
internet. A typical news group conversation goes something like this:
"You're an idiot." |
|
And so on.
Of course you can replace "idiot" with any swear word
that you can think of.
In English that means any body part combined with any bodily function.
The research is of a technical nature, basically to find
out what has already been done.
The
results of the research will be a conclusion as to what works,
what doesn't work,
what is appreciated, and what is not appreciated, by parents, children,
teachers and students.
But to get to the results we will have to wade through the internet.
For example there is one flash animation game found on the internet that
consists of a Santa Clause
getting drunk on a roof of a house. Although the rude content, involves
farting, burping, and getting
drunk it demonstrates an uncanny variable control function that makes
the game controls harder and
harder to operate as the game progresses. This function is
unique in the game world to my knowledge
it
may have an educational use but it is attached to a rude cartoon. Sober
Santa.
The George Bush Speech Writing game demonstrates interactive sentence construction.
With adaptation,
this
game structure could be a great reading/writing/performing game. George Bush Speech Writing.
Question: If you could draw and submit a small square of art,
along with thousands of of other people,
what
would it look like?.
Answer: Public washroom wall art. See for your
self : Graffiti
If children had a free for all drawing page would it look any different?
At this stage of research we are observing and sharing our e research-in-progress.
There
are some wonderfully inspiring games and animation too like levers.swf from

and http://www.ferryhalim.com/orisinal/.
