Under sufficiently slow and gradual change, it works reasonably well; in the case of a sharp discontinuity, however, the method breaks down: though we may glorify it with the name \u201ccommon sense\u201d, our past experience is no longer relevant, the analogies become too shallow, and the metaphors become more misleading than illuminating. This is the situation that is characteristic for the \u201cradical\u201d novelty.\u201d It is often explained in Computer Science and Interface Design that a good method for introducing\u00a0 new technologies is through the use of metaphors. Our text processors look like sophisticated but cold virtual typing machines; our computer desktops are organized in folders and subfolders with tabs; music production suites copy literally the physical image of classical synthesizers, etc. Our computers and programs are usually conceived with the objective to mimic our \u201creal world\u201d.<\/p>\n Artists: Alberto Boem, Davide Bevilacqua, Alessio Chierico, Cesar Escudero, Chiara Esposito, Isidora Ficovic, Jorge G\u00e1lvez, \u0110ejmi Had, Mihaela Kavdanska, Oliver Kellow, Veronica Krenn, Sopon Kulkijja, Maruska Polakova.<\/p>\n Organized by nomadenetappe<\/a> (nomadenetappe.net) and Art Academie Linz Interface Cultures Faculty<\/p>\n Curator: Enrique Tom\u00e1s<\/p>\n ..Then we have the little work here by Isidora Ficovic that is little, but is very subtle \u2018I am not Yoko Ono\u2019.
