What comes from what I do, in small convenient chunks:

Media can be translated based either on signal (organic, analogue and digital), sense (visual, aural, etc.) and sign (meaning) [+]

Despite popular belief, the concept of Visual Literacy appeared in literature during the late 1930s, not the mid-1960s [+]

The concept of Visual Literacy was first discussed in museum education [+]

The concept of Glitch and its embracement has positive pedagogical implications [+][+]

The concept of visual literacy has historically appeared in three distinct and identifiable waves, each supported by different media and technologies [+]

When data is translated between visual and aural representations, there is a relationship of 1-1 between pixels and samples [+]

One can easily “draw” sounds in raster editor software by following certain patterns [+]

By interrupting otherwise hidden processes, glitches reveal their nature and functionality, allowing us to interact with them directly [+][+]

The Glass Cast: A time-based network visualization designed to represent connections between documents and across disciplines over time [+][+][+]

Glitch art techniques, such as databending and pixelsorting, can be used for mainstream data visualization [+]

It is possible to interpolate between typographic signs of different typefaces to create new ones, as long as certain technical conditions and protocols are met [+]

It is possible to preemptively calculate the number of characters that will fit a text column using an arithmetic formula [+]

Using low-fidelity prototypes for testing allows test participants to focus on metaphors of interface, as opposed to bugs and interactivity [+]

Media deception occurs when non-factual information is presented in genres commonly used for factual genres (e.g., documentaries, newscasts, etc) [+][+]

Reality —or rather, factuality— can be studied and understood from the perspective of genre studies [+][+]
