the Electronic Man

a Global body created for McLuhan’s Centennial

the Electronic Manthe Electronic Man

 

The Electronic Man produces a connective global body in a realtime performance that takes place simultaneously all over the world.

The Electronic Man Stickers have been placed all over the world by internet users (internet is coming out of monitors, lately, and into the streets). Each sticker has a QRCode and connects people to thebody of the Electronic Man.

When someone scans the QRCode on the sticker(for example using a smartphone), the body of the Electronic Man gets stimulated:

  • the person is asked to choose a word that will ble correlated with the geographical place in which the sticker is located;
  • the person is asked if he/she wishes todownload a smartphone application that will connect his device in realtime with the body of the Electronic Man;
  • everyone’s smartphone that is connected to the body of the Electronic Man through the application, instantly vibrates;
  • these people’s bodies will be, thus, physically stimulated by this vibration, directly connected to the place in which the sticker is placed, therefore producing a globally disseminated sensibility, an additional global digital sense for our body.

REFF RomaEuropa FakeFactory

REFF RomaEuropa FakeFactory

RomaEuropa FakeFactory (REFF)  is the digital version of an exciting publishing initiative: the creation of a true enhanced book that lives on paper, online and, now, on your iPhone and iPad.
REFF book  is an application through which you can:

  • read the digital version of the book (in the “Book” section of the app)
  • view/hear the images, videos, 3D objects, sounds and interactive experiences found/linked in the book, and some additional ones available only on the app (in the “Media” section of the app)
  • interact directly with the paper version on the book, using QRCodes and fiducial markers (in the “Vision” section of the app)
  • browse the contents of the book geographically, seeing the places, cities and locations mentioned in the text (in the “Map” section of the app)
  • read a real-time magazine that is generated each day by searching the web for the most interesting freely accessible articles on the themes of the book (in the “Magazine” section of the app).

The book features outstanding content from famous and less-famous artists, writers, academics, communicators, marketing gurus, such as Bruce Sterling (who made the preface to the book), the Yes Men and loads more.
Notes:
The application uses your current location to configure the visualization of the geographical content: no information about you is stored or transferred in any way.
The application does not store, use or distribute any information about you or your mobile phone.
The content in the book (and application) is produced by FakePress Publishing and published on paper by FakePress Publishing together with DeriveApprodi Editore (in Italy).

  • web
  • mobile web
  • PDF
  • ePub
  • XHTML (optimized for importing into desktop publishing environments such as Adobe InDesign)
  • HTML5, CSS3

MACME provides automatic and manually configurable features that can be used to adapt content into formats which are usable on the different platforms. As an example, a video which might be hosted as an embedded element on one of our web pages will be automatically transformed into a QRCode in the PDF and ePub version, thus opening up the cross-media scenarios which radically transform the fruition of books and other forms of publication.

As an additional feature, MACME allows using advanced forms of content, such as live or realtime datasets and location based information.
