With the creation of World University and School in an interactive realistic virtual earth how to make education and learning radically different and very innovative and creatively fun ... through building with MIT OCW in 7 languages and in a wiki platform in all of Wikipedia's 358 languages, and eventually in all 7,099 living languages - perhaps paralleling the fun people have had through creating the internet and the World Wide Web itself.

And the making aspect of ... ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy ... will in part contribute to this.

Hi Anthony, 

Thanks for your interesting Warhol talk at University Press Books, Berkeley, "Warhol's Working Class: Pop Art and Egalitarianism" - http://mailchi.mp/universitypressbooks/correction-warhols-working-class-on-saturday-october-28th?e=60524c2e42 - yesterday.

And congratulations on the publication of your new book with the University of Chicago Press.

Hmmm Real Virtual Earth Channeling Warhol and Capote (Harvard) to "avatar agency" label in

*
I'm curious how a realistic virtual earth with avatar bots will emerge as a digital history project. Re my actual virtual ethnographic book about creating a realistic virtual field site for anthropological comparison, there's an example of my emerging virtual Harbin Hot Springs' field site in Google Streetview - https://twitter.com/HarbinBook (top left link) - before it develops (and which is what my recent actual / virtual ethnographic book is about - http://bit.ly/HarbinBook). 

It's in such an environment that I think a digital history project is already emerging, and will grow. 

Looking forward to staying in touch. Thanks again, and nice to meet you.

Hi Anthony, 

Thanks again for your interesting talk about your new book "Warhol's Working Class: Pop Art and Egalitarianism" - http://mailchi.mp/universitypressbooks/correction-warhols-working-class-on-saturday-october-28th?e=60524c2e42 - yesterday.

I came to understand further some of the Andy Warhol and cultural context questions I was asking about yesterday here - 
https://www.warhol.org/andy-warhols-life/ - and would hazard that the NY artist world in which he lived and worked as a commercial artist in the 50s, 60s and beyond was a kind of counterculture (re how I focus these questions in my "Naked Harbin Ethnography: Hippies, Warm Pools, Counterculture ... ") in its own way, which dovetailed with musical '60s counterculture in NY with the Velvet Underground.

Here's a picture of the early computers he used to create his pop art (there are 2 other pictures of his computers here with Campbell Soup and Marilyn Monroe) from the Pittsburgh museum ...


... and a number of others surround images ... and potentially ones where you can "walk" through this whole museum ... 

I'm looking forward to the time when we'll be able to interact with Andy Warhol himself, converse with him and ask him questions, and create art with him even, - when he might become an interactive speaking avatar bot ...in an interactive realistic virtual world ... emerging from something like the Google Streetview perspectives above (hence the Harvard theater and the Youtube I sent you yesterday). This would grow by converting all the films and videos into 3D interactive virtual worlds with avatar bots, and then coding these avatar bots further for interactivity and speaking. 

His Pittsburgh neighborhoods in the 30s and 40s (and 50s) were probably pretty ethnically diverse with central and eastern Europeans, in part, since he was a Lemko or Slovak (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Warhol). Some of these were in Oakland (part of Pgh), not all that far from the Carnegie Tech and the University of Pittsburgh, but probably very working class at the time. (It would be great to be able to go back to all these places in an interactive realistic virtual earth with time slider). 

I think you and I are focusing academically on a similar time and related cultural contexts (me, re the 60s and 70s and Harbin, as well as anthropologically, and for me in terms of the actual and the virtual).

Enjoying listening to the Velvet Underground - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkumhBVPGdg&index=2&list=RDXhbyj8pqUao - and with the seeds of further online ethnography / anthropology. Lou Reed is great.

In my weblog I blog a bit about "art" - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Art - and "history" - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/history - but "global university" and "Harbin ... " are currently my main foci. 

How much did you go up to Harbin when you were a grad student at Cal?

When were you at Reed, and where did you grow up before coming to Reed? Thanks again for your interesting talk and your new book "Warhol's Working Class: Pop Art and Egalitarianism."

Looking forward to staying in touch. 

Regards, 
Scott

One interesting aspect about Warhol's use of technologies and replicating images ... relates to this definition of information technology I use in the course I'm teaching presently ... http://worlduniversityandschool.org/InfoTechNetworkSocGlobalUniv.html

So what is technology?

The definition for this course that I use is that it's the use of scientific knowledge to specify ways of doing things in a reproducible (replicating) manner.

And developments of these kinds change gradually over time, but changes that occur cluster together to form a system reinforcing each other.

Replicability is key to technological processes.

Thanks, Scott! It was great to meet you, and I really appreciated your astute contributions to the discussion last night.

Thanks, Anthony, too! 

It was great to meet you as well, and I blogged about this today - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/10/american-chestnut-rock-roll-is-royal.html - where you'll also find a "Reed College" label.

Best,
