Less data leads to lower quality user experience. There’s no consistency or continuity between different apps and environments. Every time I create a new profile or download a new app I feel like I’m starting all over again. At first I’m reduced to a stereotype who needs to sign in to see irrelevant content or meaningless ads. Fragmented data and inconsistent algorithms provide noise instead of signal. My interfaces to information are not optimized for me. I’m inspired by the thought that I should benefit from all of my tags, comments, likes, and reviews across different apps and services. I should be able to continuously contribute in creating a better personal interface to the information around me. I want all of my data to be brought together into my own personal interface. Before solving the “Big Data” we should figure out the “small” personal part. Algorithms alone can’t make me whole. Different services need my continuous contribution to understand who I really am and what I want. And I believe that apps and services that openly share their data to provide me a better user experience are not far off.

Before being a theory aesthetics is an action, the action of undeterred insistence in refurnishing becoming. Before being a theory aesthetics requires the necessary non-act of disclosing a shape of silence in and around minds, in and around things. Before being a theory aesthetics is an inter-action, the empathic weaving of threads across the frontier between visible and invisible, the ephemeral mind of beyond born of encounter. Thus before being a theory Aesthetics is possibly about the apex of our action as humans. Aesthetics is the verb of curating becoming.

A thought is ‘like a code’, is an analogy, but a thought ‘is code’ is a metaphor, this transforms into a techno-metaphorical process with the advent of brain machine interfaces by which a thought, literally becomes a code, able to operate objects in the real world, to act in the world and on the world. This is not merely some science fictional idea for the future but a very real and very immediate reality with which we will have to come to terms with and adapt accordingly. Controlling machine interfaces directly with our minds is a disruptive revolution precisely because it disturbs the old fashion of separation of body from other (hence revolutionizing alterity). Moreover, the advent of techno-metaphorical thought will permit an understanding of interconnection and hyperconnectivity in manners not previously readily obtainable to the common mind. The difference created in the mind will be gradual but fundamental, no longer will we need to teach the truth of connectivity for it will become a real and immediate experience, resulting so I surmise, in an elevated sense of empathy. To fully engage in the process of techno-metaphorical thought we will need to allow the metaphor (literally ‘carrying over’ from the Greek root ‘meta’- (beyond, above) and "pherein" (carrying, or bearing)) to work both ways, from our minds into and unto the world and from the world into and unto our minds. This motion of codes as metaphors will be performed by brain machine interfaces but will result in the literal expansion of the sense of self into new domains of experience, for which our inadequate worldviews are unprepared. The development of a techno-metaphorical mental alchemy, which I view as part of the cyborgization process, will transform us into a new variety of being, the Technoshamans, a different kind of creature indeed, a new species on this planet.

Subject X was a poet—at least that’s what he wrote on his application form—and he claimed fluency in a number of languages. Rajiv and I were delighted with this; we thought it would be fascinating to see the brain correlations of someone so intimate with language—with the immense complexity of word manipulation. There was no doubt that he would be our first subject. I wonder, now, if he might have known that; if he was making certain that we’d choose no one else but him. You’ve probably heard me sharing my pet theory—a speculation really—that minds which operate a number of languages simultaneously (a rare phenomenon indeed) are a mutation of the lateral thinking paradigm. Somehow these minds sustain a continuous diversification of parallel dimensions because they must retain their focus on the word they are looking for. It is as if the word they are looking for keeps morphing one into the other, across languages, and so they never lack the appropriate term. Because of this simple fact, the coherence of their thought stream is an unremitting flux that never sleeps—it merely fluctuates in intensity and density—at least, that’s my conjecture... What led us astray at the beginning was the fact that we took language to mean verbal languages only. But language is much more than that. So often, we forget that a visual representation of a chair is not the same as the word “chair” or the vocal verbalization of that same word. The language of chemicals and molecules, the language of magnetic fields, of shapes and coordinates of spaces and times and the language of energy, all these and many, many others—as we now are beginning to understand—exist continuously and in a superimposed manner, only part of which surfaces and parallels the others. What is normally perceived is only superficially and apparently translated into another language. The difference therefore was not only of kind, and thus of quantity, but also of quality. Now do you see how we were caught off guard? When we did our first experiments we did not understand how we got those strange results: the de-coherence effect of immediate reality.

Language seems the undercurrent basis of history. Now, in seducing futures, we cannot afford to think of grammar and syntax as any farer than our own flesh. Beauty, unlike the stories of old, always was and is the site of the edge of language, there, oscillation between modes of language, between visible and invisible, unfolds an inexhaustible encounter. Whose entities (signs) are a composition of form and becoming immersed in silence. A composition of process and snapshot, of verb and noun, of participation and observation, of individual and collective, of self interest and collaborative pleasure, of one and multiple. That breath into each other, whisper into one another and flow into one another, like my little daughter and old age, like longing and me, like this lighted screen - a form and becoming on a plane of silence.

infosynaesthetic language

The emergence of hyperconnectivity fundamentally changes the dynamics of human interaction through manipulating its symbolic languages. Nevertheless, we continue to consider our current method of communication as sufficient in this new paradigm. We need new semantic and ontological frameworks to exchange meaning within and across infocologies (information ecologies). As we more deeply engage and interact with each other, information and our environment, a new, infosynaesthetic language is emergent through hyperconnectivity.

...

The emergence of metacodes as experiential infosynaesthetic language has the potential to raise our awareness of how we interact with each other by providing a reflexive feedback loop with which to understand the inherently fluid nature of meaning itself, encouraging the challenge to habitual conscious and subconscious paradigms - and perhaps the chance for reinterpretation and contemplation.
