I went to friday's afternoon section and I found it to be pretty interesting. Hearing about the history of the planetarium was cool. To think that it was originally more about the projector than the projection blew my mind, and yet, it makes sense. There are a lot of things made just for show. Its more like show over substance. I enjoyed seeing the picture of the projector over the years as it got smaller and smaller and the focus changed to less about what it looked like to more about what it could do. Learning about Interactive media in general was very cool to me. There's nothing I like more than to be able to interact with things. Its a human necessity in my opinion. Hearing David? (the professor who teaches dangerous ideas) talk about that interaction and connection through immersive media was what caught my attention the most. The psychology was cool and i think that he's right. The easier it is for an audience to see and connect with a piece, physically and or emotionally the bigger a success it will be. I wasn't lucky enough to be able to attend the weekend shows, but i enjoyed Friday's presentation a lot.
