the real world of technology ursula franklin
what is described by Ursula Franklin as prescriptive and holistic technologies. These mechanisms of technological development as divided into two distinct, opposing ideologies by not discussing ‘what work is being done, but how work is being done in our society’, she states. Holistic technologies leave the individual in control of a particular process of creating or doing something as opposed to the systematized prescription or specificity of participation with its ensuing loss and fragmentation

laws of simplicity
reduce: organize time learn difference context emotions trust failure: the one:
It's not necessarily beneficial to add technology features just because we can. Organization of a system of many appear fewer. A saving in time feels like simplicity. Knowledge makes everything simpler. Simplicity and complexity need each other. What lies in the periphery of simplicity is deďŹ nitely not peripheral. More emotions are better than less. In simplicity we trust. Accept the fact that some things can never be made simple. Simplicity is about subtracting the obvious, and adding the meaningful
SIMPLICITY HAS BEEN BEEN SO EASY
dogme
95 Dogme 95 was an avant-garde filmmaking movement started by Danish directors Lars von Trier and Thomas Vinterberg with the signing of the Dogme 95 Manifesto and the ‘Vow of Chastity’ until 2005.
dogme The goal of the dogme collective is to purify filmmaking by refusing expensive and spectacular special effects, and postproduction modifications. Lars von Trier and Thomas Vinterberg produced ten rules to which any Dogme film must conform.
1.
Filming must be done on location.
2.
The sound must never be produced apart from the images or vice versa- only unless it is occuring in the scene.
3.
The camera must be a hand-held camera. Any movement or immobility attainable in the hand is permitted. (The film must not take place where the camera is standing; filming must take place where the action takes place.
4.
The film must be in colour. Special lighting is not acceptable.
5.
Optical work and filters are forbidden.
6.
The film must not contain superficial action. (Murders, weapons, etc. must not occur.)
7.
Temporal and geographical alienation are forbidden. (That is to say that the film takes place here and now.)
8.
Genre movies are not acceptable.
9.
The director must not be credited.
