By this I mean recurrent images or designs you can find in most places in your country like documents, government buildings, tv ads, etc.
e.g. China and Japan use dragons a lot, the US has the Statue of Liberty or the Bald Eagle image everywhere, the Soviet Union used the Hammer and Sickle symbol for all government propaganda, etc.
Do the exams include content from the readings thatβs not in the lectures? Or will I be fine skipping the readings as long as I watch and study the lectures. Iβm aiming for an A by the way, not just a passing grade
Dr. Rona Sela is an Israeli historian who examines how the visual sphere of Zionist and Israeli colonialism, as one component in a huge mechanism, has been exploited and used for political and ideological objectives since the beginning of the 20th century.
Dr. Sela exposes the visual aspects of human rights violation, plunder and looting of Palestinian archives and their subjugation to repressive colonial mechanisms, and on constructing alternative postcolonial archives. She also researches the development of alternative visual practices connected to civil society systems, asking to replace the old Israeli official gatekeepers.
A selected list of her works:
[1] Peer-reviewed articles:
[2] Films
Currently negotiating a time to hold an AMA with Dr. Sela, which will be hosted at /r/Palestine.
For now, we're taking questions in advance - but the discussion will be live. Please PM or post your questions here.
Thanks!
Whether intentional or not, Jean Baudrillard would be proud, shed a tear even, of what mediatonic accomplished in their a final act of defiance against the capitalist superstructure before acquisition.

Using an old account since my main account has posts that could identify me. I don't want coworkers or a boss possibly seeing this post. But I do want to share my frustrations with people.
I've loved art and making things since early childhood. Fragments of my very first memories are me playing with legos, probably when I was about 3. I used to take my math and english homework and color in the edges for fun in elementary school. I used to draw comics and goofy illustrations in middle school. In high school, i'd design album covers and make websites. I went to college and majored in fine arts/ graphic design. Then I got a job doing design for a startup software company. And this is the moment where I started to hate what I loved doing my entire life.
In the beginning of my professional career, I was so naively gung-ho about my job. Thinking that finding work that aligned with my passion was such a privelage that not many get to have. Then once the honeymoon period faded away, I was working every day 9am to 6 or 7pm. I started to realize that the work I was doing wasn't for the intrinsic value of creating things like it was when I was a kid. I was making things to sell more products for my company.
In other words, I was making things for the purpose of pulling in more money for my company.
The creative decisions I was making wasn't creative direction that I thought would benefit my artwork, the decisions were determined by what would make the company more money. Let me say that again: Every decision was influenced by ultimately how my work could possibly rake in a few extra cents for my company.
Fast Forward 10 years, and capitalism and business culture have made me HATE what I had loved the most in my life. And I've grown hateful of the system that ruined my purpose in life.
However, I do know what I want to do with my life - I want to make artwork without it being contaminated by money. I want to make decisions for my artwork because it's the right creative decision to make, not because it will make a company more money. But this is impossible.
It's impossible because in order for me to survive, I need money. So now I'm stuck churning out the equivalent of assembly-line-made, cookie-cutter, walmart products - in the form of artwork. While I dedicate an hour or two at most every night trying to scrape together whatever time and energy I have remaining so I can to make something that I can call true artwork. I spend 8-9 hours a day on shit I d

I added invariant culture stuff to 300 lines of code, gonna post it live, but to be honest I can't test it, just hopin it works. What other things does Visual Studio have stashed inside it that might have a game not run on other computers? I want to be proactive on this stuff. Most other compilers are cool with making video games work on every system, and C# is pretty cool, way better than C++ or Visual Basic, almost on par with Java. C# is one of my top languages to pick from, and since it is used with Unity, I'm cool with it. Just, tell me more of these localization quirks before I trip on em again, plz.
If they are going to detach nation from culture they may as well go ahead and give us a choice on look as well.
And they should let us choose look despite what others choose.
As far as immersion goes, I get a big disconnect from seeing my civilization look like Vegas.
