Experience is Everything. Uh oh.
I said a few days ago that “Experience is Everything”. This isn’t what I meant, though.
I’m currently building up a rough manifesto (what point is there to a slick one? the word manifesto feels so rough…) on the subject of thought and how it is influenced by experience, in particular, how our thought and relationship processes are influenced by increasing time spent in virtual spaces online. It’s a subject that is close to my heart and passion, and I’ve been working up to this with increasing momentum for nearly a year.
How does the above video link tie in? My idea of “Experience is Everything” is that the experience is influenced by every aspect of the sensed environment, not just the digital input. The Prometeus video (”Experience is the New Reality”) looks at experience as moving away from the physical senses towards the digital domain.
By the way, I love the voiceover on the video, but wonder about the very odd difficulty with “Tyranosaurus Rex”. Note the closing credit:
