YouTube showcases Michael Wesch’s visual analysis on new media
On a weekly basis I watch intriguing YouTube videos in my Info Tools class as an introduction to our lectures. Known as “starters,” the goal is to get us thinking about and interested in the topic at hand. Since I am studying Information Science, many of them involve how humans interact with information and how information is being organized and displayed on the web. Michael Wesch, assistant professor of Cultural Anthropology at Kansas State University, has some of the best videos that I have seen thus far. His analysis on information architecture and the evolution of web technologies is brilliantly presented in his videos and has left me thinking more and more about the current state of information representation in the digital era.
