Techonology and education

How understeand the modern educational sysistem? I belive this kind of problems are easier to understeand than the people think. As the X-Files said «the truth is out» what does it mean? that just with a image we can understeand the social relations.  The pic i show here show a lot of computers and no people. What is the plot twist? this place is a university…

We can see in the discourses from this kind of educational institution how the techonology had become an important part of the strategys to «improve» the way how people learn. Is this preocupation legitimate?  For sure it is but it have to be the main worry? I dont think so.

Nevertheless the focus in the techonology had leave beside the worry of the relation beteween student- professor. How can we understeand this argument?, well just see the picture, where is the professor desk?

Dear Laura.

Recently, I found out you are quiet interested in art. So  I´ve been paying attention in order to recommed you something nice that would like you.  If I were you i would see the work of Amalia Ulman because is quitte gripping. She is an Argentinian artist that is interested in showing the sterotypes that we can find in social media, like facebook or instangram.

How you told us in the class about Frida Kahlo you are worred about the female struggles in art. Amalia Ulman  said in a intevew that for her was hard make this work beocuse the others artist said that if she keeps posting that «vanal» pictures no one would take her serious, in that way those commentaries are based on the negative view that the people have about the «vanal girly things».

The other reason I suggest  this artist is becouse her work is now considered the first master piece made with new technologis  and also becouse througth her work we can see how the identtities are crossed by the new social media productions and the values of capitalism. In this sense her work is over the top.

I hope this like you. Please let me know your ideas about her maybe we can chat about it later.

Take care,

Juan.
