Divided We Speak
The "Divided We Speak" PHSCologram tryptich is a unique collaborative study in sculpture, photography, sound and poetry, based on an audience interactive media symphony in six movements, by Miroslaw Rogola. The work was commissioned and shown by the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago in the Fall of 1997.
Divided We Speak has been designed to mimic life in the information age. The viewer activates or encounters seemingly random shards of information (sound, computer, and video images) and through experimentation, movement, and mental engagement, creates a unique experience. Another essential consideration for the artist is that each viewer's experience of the artwork is different. Thus while in the public space of the museum, each viewer creates a private space.
This exhibition, was mounted to coincide with the annual meeting of the Inter-Society for Electronic Arts (ISEA) in Chicago during the third week of September, explores the edge of technology in a form known as electronic art - artwork realized through computers, video, recorded sound, and other electronic media. Miroslaw Rogala, backed by a team of media innovators and other artists - all major figures in their various fields - has created an interactive multimedia laboratory titled Divided We Speak. This laboratory features the newest in electronic and virtual reality innovations that will be utilized and displayed for the first time in a museum setting. The artist and his team will fine-...

How is one to determine that everything our eyes perceive is the truth? For us to see certain objects, we need the truth and the good to shed light on objects or ideas of objects. Sight is the only sense that relies on something else (light) to make things visible to the naked eye. Plato has organized a map on what is seen and how it is perceived called The Divided Line. The Divided Line recognizes the difference between what is true knowledge and what is just opinion. This is a chart of how reality
always special for human perception because they address aspects of life that are rather close to many people.

Christian faith. The word “Trinity” does not actually appear in the bible; it is a theological label meant to summarize certain teachings of certain passages of scripture, and is crucial to properly understand what God is like, how He relates to us, and how we relate to Him. It may also raise many difficult questions including what does it mean that God is a Trinity? While it is difficult for us to fully understand everything about the trinity, it is quite possible to answer questions like this one and come
when you hear the word “liberty?” The Merriam-Webster Dictionary gives us their definition of liberty as, “the state or condition of people who are able to act and speak freely.” Now that you know what liberty is you may ask yourself, do we hold a right to liberty? Yes, as Americans we have a right to act and speak about whatever we choose as long as it is not harmful to other citizens.

Even from the beginning, Richard can see how different he is
Marley’s Moral Venture We all agree with our own set of values that are given to us when we are born, how we work with those values determine what we do with our lives.

During the 1900s Jamaica was racially divided between native blacks and whites, not only was it divided by race, it was also separated
nonviolent war was striking. The city of Berlin took the hardest hit when it was divided into two sides, the Soviet Union controlled the East side making it communist and the West side was a free nation with allies of Britain, France, and the United States. Ronald Reagan was the Untied State’s fortieth president, and one of his main platforms was to rid the world of the evil empire of the Soviet Union. He was invited to speak at the city of Berlin’s 750th anniversary in 1987. His allies, Margret Thatcher
others. The speaker is telling us her story of meeting the colonel to show us the horrible things that have happened in the fight for justice and to encourage us to speak up. She tells us this story because she does not want others to end up the way that the ears did. The speaker wants us to stay strong and fight for justice when we begin to live in a state of constant fear. This poem tells us about someone who is fearful in her situation.
This is an oral test about U.S history, with over 100 different questions and you must answer 6 out of 10 to pass. Anyone who does not speak English will have a hard or near impossible time passing this test. They will have a hard time because the test is in English only. Even Americans have a hard time passing this test, let alone someone that can’t even speak English.”A survey out of the Center for the Study of the American Dream at Xavier University finds that one out of three U.S. citizens fail

town recently, it has been tempting to pass judgment on the intelligence of the drivers of cars with a bumper sticker that says something to the effect of 'speak American!' English, I'm tempted to say. Speak 'English.' Yet, as illustrated by Geoffrey Nunberg in 'The Persistence of English', what constitutes English isn't as simple as 'well….you speak English or you don't.' In fact, that ostensibly patriotic-as-Apple-pie attitude, as evidenced in the essay, can be traced back to America gaining it's independence

When order is disrupted in King Lear, the audience witnesses chaotic events that Lear endures, eventually learning who truly loves him.

society of today, there are many images that are portrayed through media and through personal experience that speak to the issues of black motherhood, marriage and the black family.
