Interactive Media

http://www.bizlounge.co.uk/images/computer_ad.jpgLITERAL: A monitor with some writing on it. ABSTRACT: Could be a little joke as the ad would not cover the whole screen, but it could show that the Internet is just full of advertisements. FEELINGS: I feel that this is indeed a little sly dig at how the Internet is full of ads, so I like it. CULTURAL/SOCIAL: Looks fairly old, but the fact that there is a computer means it can't be TOO old.
 http://www.funforever.net/wp-content/InteractiveMediaWall_2_01.jpgLITERAL: A large touch-screen keyboard. ABSTRACT: This could be a new piece of technology that can make things easier or more fun for people. FEELINGS: I like the idea of large touch-controlled keyboards, but they do not need to be on-screen. CULTURAL/SOCIAL: This will have been shown at some kind of showcase event for a touchscreen computer.
http://www.bmigaming.com/Images/needforspeed-carbon-arcade-screenshot-1.jpgLITERAL: A car game. ABSTRACT: It looks like you can go very fast in this game and there are arrows showing where to go so it cannot be a very serious game. FEELINGS: I don't think I'd like this game, I don't like the style of game. CULTURAL/SOCIAL: Again, very modern, as with all images in this topic.
http://www.adamdilley.co.uk/Work/Interactive%20Media%20Authoring_files/image004.jpgLITERAL: A new-age phone. ABSTRACT: Two phones that are identical but with different images on each - perhaps referring to the fact that it is a phone for anyone and everyone. FEELINGS: Looks like a nice phone, but I feel this is a weak image. CULTURAL/SOCIAL: Once more, the image has to be modern and recent.

LITERAL: This is an image of a projection of a figure. ABSTRACT: 3d rendering of what it would look like if there were many lights on the floor and above the floor. FEELINGS: This is a kind of confusing image, I think. It does not make much sense. CULTURAL/SOCIAL: I am not sure where this would fit in in terms of cultural or social places, but maybe it is part of a design.








LITERAL: A hand holding a cable. ABSTRACT: This may mean that someone must unplug their cable and punish someone else (who?). FEELINGS: I feel that there is a subliminal violent message here. CULTURAL/SOCIAL: Due to the date on the image, I can say that this was made during mid-2011.
