Resumo: O presente artigo contribui para uma reflexão sobre a influência da técnica sobre as artes na Era da Informatização. Desde o início da Era Industrial, nota-se a inversão gradativa de papéis entre máquina e homem: a "ascensão das máquinas" teria transformado o homem em "servo". Nem mesmo o campo das artes esteve livre dos efeitos de tal "ascensão", sobretudo no contato com os meios de comunicação de massa, como o rádio, o cinema e a televisão. Na verdade, tudo não passou de um prelúdio para o que ainda estava por vir: a informática atingiu as artes e nossa cultura fundada na tradição escrita, resultando em transformações muito mais amplas no âmbito da comunicação individual e social.Palavras-chave: arte; técnica; mediatização.Abstract: The present article brings up issues on the influence of technique on art in the Information Age. Since the beginning of the Industrial Age, there has been a progressive inversion of roles in the relation between man and machine : the "rise of machine" seems to have turned man into a "servant". Not even the field of art remained untouched by the effects of such "rise", specially in its contact with communication media like radio, cinema and television. In fact, all that was but a prelude to what was still to come: informatics reached into the arts and our writing­ based culture, causing widespread transformations in the realms of social and individual communication.Keywords: art; technique; mediatization.

Focus Theory

At present, a large number of theories exist which explain the process for choosing communication media in organizations. Channel expansion theory combines a large part of the theoretical foundation for these theories, suggesting that the perceived richness of a communication medium varies according to experience based on the knowledge of the organization’s members. Equally, Regulatory Focus Theory also suggests that individuals behave in a different way when their self regulation states are different. This investigation intends to present a set of proposals based on the existing literature about how strategy type /focus (promotion and prevention) affects the perception of the richness of a communication medium, increasing the explanatory capacity of channel expansion theory.

Computer software is an information product [2]. Since the rising of the computer software industry during the 1960’s, the dispute into the best way to protect computer software has never stopped. Human society has already entered the information age, the development of the computer software industry is happening more rapidly than ever before. The application of using legal means to effectively protect computer software, is not only crucial to the development of the computer software industry, but also for national science and technology, the development of the economy is of great significance. This paper summarizes the present situation of international protection of computer software, based on the analysis of the quality of copyright law, patent law, and trade secret law to protect computer software and the analysis of the protected mode all over the world, put forward the author’s suggestions for the legal protection model.

Adapted technology, in particular smart cards and terminals, can help people with special needs, such as those with physical disabilities, in the information age to carry out common activities independently. This paper illustrates the possibilities of the technology with results from the SATURN (Smart Cards And Terminals Usability Requirements and Needs) project. Economically viable smart card technology can now provide a range of adaptations to accommodate the requirements of this population. The practicability of this technology is illustrated with case studies. When implementing the technology, the selection of appropriate adaptations by occupational therapists and other professionals will be paramount. Forces towards implementation can lead to wider availability of the technology in the near future in order to enhance the quality of life for people with special needs.

As the simplest communication media, mading is a significant medium to encourage creativity, imagination and provide opportunity for students to be expresive. In fact, there aren’t many schools utilizing mading as a communication medium to empower students. Mading management that empowers students will also provide benefits to improve the literacy skills and build a culture of teamwork. This paper aims to examine the utilization of mading as a learning medium for students at SDN Tanjung Anom 3 Nganjuk. Mading is merely informative medium or one-way communication from the teacher to the students. Mading utilization is emphasized as a bulletin board only. Community service activities were implemented then, aimed to put mading as a medium of participatory communication in order to foster synergies between school as educational institution and the needs of the students. The results of the training has been done in SDN Tanjung Anom 3 shows that the management of mading within involvement of students will make them become more creative, expressive and imaginative. Students further become collaborative and explorative in mading management thus the function of mading as a medium of two way communication might be implemented.

As If

In this chapter, the authors describe two human-like android robots, known as Geminoid and Telenoid, which they have developed. Geminoid was developed for two reasons: (1) to explore how humans react or respond the android during face-to-face communication and (2) to investigate the advantages of the android as a communication medium compared to traditional communication media, such as the telephone or the television conference system. The authors conducted two experiments: the first was targeted to an interlocutor of Geminoid, and the second was targeted to an operator of it. The results of these experiments showed that Geminoid could emulate a human’s presence in a natural-conversation situation. Additionally, Geminoid could be as persuasive to the interlocutor as a human. The operators of Geminoid were also influenced by the android: during operation, they felt as if their bodies were one and the same with the Geminoid body. The latest challenge has been to develop Telenoid, an android with a more abstract appearance than Geminoid, which looks and behaves as a minimalistic human. At first glance, Telenoid resembles a human; however, its appearance can be interpreted as any sex or any age. Two field experiments were conducted with Telenoid. The results of these experiments showed that Telenoid could be an acceptable communication medium for both young and elderly people. In particular, physical interaction, such as a hug, positively affected the experience of communicating with Telenoid.
