Suguru Ishizaki's Improvisational Design: Continuous Responsive Digital Communication

Digital communication is interactive, dynamic and continuous. People working with digital communication (visual designers, human-computer interaction professionals, and software engineers) need a unique set of communicative methods that equal this dynamic flow of digital communication expressions.

In an art form like ballet, it seems as though music and dance complement each other equally. Truly, it is hard to picture, or perform, a dance without music. However, this may not be the case for music, even if that music is composed specifically for a dance routine. The compilation of the music and the dancing from a scene in the American cowboy ballet Rodeo will be examined to ultimately help us understand they way in which they serve each other as a unit and their ability to function independently.

    ... said that she had no idea “that we felt that were were treated poorly” and some other garbage about hurting our feelings. I didn’t believe them. One thing that bothered me was the whole ‘hurting my feelings’ thing. It seems so emotional and weird. In a way, this is pretty sad, because it shows how cold these people made to point where I consider being emotional odd or even annoying. Perhaps the best or the scariest, depending on what I do with it, thing that Mrs. X taught me that you can be very, very influential, especially when dealing with young people. Mrs. X probably knew it. Politicians know it. The media knows it. Every Civics teacher on the planet probably knows it. Now I know it. We will just have to see what I do with it. I plan to do good things with it, and prove to everyone that, despite my joking, I am truly not an especially violent person.
