Models of mind/body/life/environment

"Is there love in the Telematic Embrace"

Roy Ascott

"Telematic culture means, in short, that we do not think, see, or feel in isolation. Creativity is shared, authorship is distributed,
but not in a way that denies the individual her
authenticity or
power of self creation, as rather crude models of
collectivity might
have done in the past. On the contrary, telematic culture
amplifies
the individual’s capacity for creative thought and action,

for more vivid and intense experience, for more informed
perception,
by enabling her to participate in the production of global
vision
through networked interaction with other minds, other
sensibilities,
other sensing and thinking systems across the
planet—thought
circulating in the medium of data through a multiplicity
of different
cultural, geographical, social, and personal layers.
Networking
supports endless redescription and recontextualization
such that
no language or visual code is final and no reality is
ultimate.
In the telematic culture, pluralism and relativism shape
the configurations
of ideas —of image, music, and text—that circulate in
the system."

EMBODIED COGNITION

Philosophers, cognitive scientists and artificial intelligence researchers who study embodied cognitionembodied mind believe
that the nature of the human mind is largely determined by the form of the human body. They argue that all aspects of cognition, such as ideas, thoughts, concepts and categories are shaped by aspects of the body.
These aspects include the perceptual system, the intuitions that
underlie the ability to move, activities and interactions with our
environment and the naive understanding of the world that is built into
the body and the brain. and the

Lucy Suchmam: SITUATED ACTIONS:

She challenged common assumptions behind the design of interactive systems with a cogent anthropological argument that human action is constantly constructed and reconstructed from dynamic interactions with
the material and social worlds. The theory of cognition"">situated cognition emphasizes the importance of the
environment as an integral part of the process" class="mw-redirect"">cognitive process. She has made
fundamental contributions to ethnographic analysis, conversational
analysis and Participatory Design techniques for the development of
interactive computer systems.

1 Cognition is situated.

2 Cognition is time-pressured.

3 We off-load cognitive work onto the environment.

4 The environment is part of the cognitive system.

5 Cognition is for action.

6 Off-line cognition is body-based.
