In the Stars

Looks like your friends

could use that sensitive listening

ear of yours.

When your best pal

groans about her boring

look, is she really

asking for help

designing a new

‘do?

warrenreview:

Almost 50 years ago, UVic students marched to protest a fee increase. They were expected to pay more for the same. Today, we are expected to pay more for less.

Where will we draw the line? When will we speak out? When we wake up to find our programs have been slashed (like at MRU and Capilano)? When rising tuition and student debt finally breaks us? When our sessionals face layoffs and faculty members feel at pains just to be heard (…um, already happening)? When, in short, our backs are against the wall?

Have no doubt, this year’s cuts will only be the beginning. It’s high time that we learn how to say no. Waiting for the ‘right time’, the time of ‘crisis’, will do us no good. We need to act, not react. We should not have to desperately defend our university; so let’s start concerning ourselves with how to build a better one now. We can do so together by taking the initiative to raise awareness, create alliances, and envision the future of our own university.

Perhaps we can start by taking a page from our own history.

“It’s like mobil dating,” said the blonde sororty girl, who was visiting from Berkeley. ”It’s ver simple: when a guy cliks the green heart beside my face, it means that”— the freshmen crew lurched up the cut, their faces bleached out by the glare— ”he likes me.”

She showed you her iPhoney. ”See?” I held your hand ver hard. I held the bleached backs of the rowers, your friends, in my gaze ver hard so that I would not get swept up up.

“What kind of a person does Theory make? What did it once mean to have read theorists? What does it mean now? How does Theory help you hold a job? Deal with lovers, children, bosses, and parents? Decide between the restricted alternatives of adulthood? If novelistic realism aspires to be a history of the present, that present now includes — in the educations of writers themselves — the Theory that relegates novelistic realism to the past.”

- Nicholas Dames, “The Theory Generation”

new-aesthetic:

“This device sends twitter messages based on the activities of a collection of houseflies. The flies live inside an acrylic sphere along with a computer keyboard. As the flies move and interact inside their home, they fly over the keys on the keyboard. These movements are collected in real-time via video. When a particular key is triggered by the flies, the key’s corresponding character is entered into a twitter text box. When 140 characters are reached or the flies trigger the “enter” key, the message containing the accumulated characters is tweeted. Thus live twitter messages are perpetually sent in real-time based on the simple movements of the community of houseflies. These constantly accumulating messages appear as records of random activity within the larger sphere of social media and networking.”
