1. In the article, Titchener says, "the suggestion has been made that an abstract idea is a sort of composite photograph, a mental picture which results from the superimposition of many particular perceptions or ideas..." Comparing this to the video of "reconstructions from brain activity" and assuming that this type of technology will advance, how will the world of New Media be changed if an artist need only to think of an idea for it to be rendered automatically and viewed by others?
2. The article also talks about interactive media. The author says that in using interactive media, "we are asked to follow pre-programmed, objectively existing associations" and "we are asked to mistake the structure of somebody's else mind for our own." What are some possible implications of interactive media? Does it hinder the viewer's own imagination?
