item(s)/hazard(s) -- with subtext(s)

requirements -- kill creativity
user studies -- lead to conservatism

creativity is contagious
viral games
the (digital) seduction of a civilisation

on the emergence of creative technology

this is where the subtext ends, and the exploration begins, with as the ultimate challenge, to realize a new discipline: creative technology

perspective(s) -- aesthetic awareness

perspective(s) -- innovation as an expression of ignorance

frankfurt airport -- multimedia walkway
shanghai river tunnel -- visual experience
shanghai shopping center -- full globe video projection
etcetera -- visual quilt, PANORAMA, ...

imagination -- mixing science and art
authenticity -- as in no bullshit
craftmanship -- in discovering the rethorics of the material

mechanism(s) -- educational element(s)

(art) inspiration(s) -- item(s) of beauty

the world is changing -- twitter

web2.0 (4): everything is becoming digital and virtual
VU @ SL (7): even in 3D and Second Life
climate @ VU (9): but there are serious problems
computer (8): computer science is magic
science (6): but it is not a science
games (3): imagine no books but games
(*) do you want to make a difference
what, why, how (5): people keep asking me questions

metaphor(s) -- towards a new curriculum

a networked world -- you make it work [engineering, management] -- not network maintenance!
everything is connected -- you make the connections [mediator, management]
everything is intertwinkled (Ted Nelson) -- you make it twinkle [the creative track]

knowledge is a (creative?) process

slogan(s) -- creative technology

do you want to make a difference -- the urge to improve is what makes the difference
in every scientist there is an artist, in every artist there is a scientist
everything is intertwinkled -- you see/make it twinkle

creative technology -- indeed, language is confusing
