I was explaining it to my parents and I had a good conversation with my mom about it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I was designing a different interface for texting that would show the distance travelled by the message and something to signify the extension of the sender into the space of the receiver. But as I reflected on my design, it seemed like I was making things up and moving farther from the reality. Talking to my mom, she pointed out that messages don\u2019t travel in a straight direct line from me to you. Texts are transmitted through radio waves, which means the letters I\u2019ve typed on a screen turn into energy which travels through space. We also talked about language as a mediator. We communicate something (which we code) then that bit of information is decoded by the receiver.<\/p>\n<p>I guess the interesting part about this whole interaction was also the fact that my mom was speaking to me in Romanian and I was replying back in English. This is what she said:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>mesajul pe care vrei sal trimit unui persoane e energie\u00a0<br \/><em>(the message you want to transmit to another person is energy)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>energia asta care sa transmit trei sa o pui intrun vehicol\u00a0<br \/><em>(this energy needs a vehicle)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>cuvintele encript energia\u00a0<br \/><em>(words encrypt energy)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So now I have a rough idea for something I can possibly execute but it\u2019s starting to feel disconnected from my previous work.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>cinoh: a conversation (with my mom) So it\u2019s close to the middle of the semester and I\u2019m unsure of the direction \u00a0of this project.
