that's what happened with this ad we're doing...
...the client approached the agency with the idea
the agency fleshed it out and got in touch with the production company to put a price on it and secure the personel needed to make it happen
thats where i come in...
...the idea was people floating up, flying into trees, over fences, above buildings etc
I reckon Guybrush,making that happen is a hell of alot more creative than selling houses...

I certainly think so, but what I was looking for was a definition which we could all agree on, one less prone to misconceptions than one based on personal opinion.I reckon Guybrush,making that happen is a hell of alot more creative than selling houses...
Yes, the loss of the physical object, perhaps? You wrote this upthread...
...and I wonder if it is not possible for capital to create fetishes even for non-objects? I would think so.
Was talking about this with a friend in regard to a torrent-based movie forum I frequent.
Around 2000 the norm was a 1cd rip (~700 meg).
Then it went to 2cds.
Then actual DVD rips (4-5gig).
Now HDTV rips of TV shows are the emerging trend.
p.s. Dissensus should become an ad agency. Its a great name for one.

i think in regards to mp3 quality etc it should not be too long before wavs can fit onto an ipod ... i mean i have lots of aiff rips of my hypadub and basic channel records on mine already...
spose data transfer has to get a little faster...
and in anycase , thru[bad] headphones, its not that big a deal. but i do feel strongly that djing with vinyl is the only otpion for most kinds of music, i can't see dubplate and vinyl culture going away..

you just have to have the money and the leisure, or they'll have to start paying DJs a lot better, if they want turntables to persist as club fixtures into the next decade
In hindsight, this reads as wildly optimistic. The object doesn't appear to be necessary at all. Capital is phasing it out itself.
And this has been rolled back with the advent of streaming.

Yes digital entertainment communism didn't turn out to be the utopia they had hoped.

There'll probably be loads of augmented stuff with irl and content/games blending together like with Pokemon Go but way more elaborate. Could imagine interactive movie/game hybrids where you play a character and you're able to have complex conversations with NPCs, and it'll be far beyond the scope of the multiple choice stuff we have in some games now. The conversations would have a major impact on the storyline which evolves and improvises itself as you go along, all non-linear, open world, and real time. Environments and characters will tailor themselves to your personal choices, likes and dislikes etc. I mean, GTA etc is this sort of thing already, but it's gonna make that shit look like 16bit games do to us now. Given big enough datasets, AI and maybe even some human input on the other end to guide things along, this could be as immersive an experience as psychedelics, or somewhere close to lucid dreaming. You imagine something: it happens. Or you let the algos take you for a ride. Its gonna be like Second Life on acid, yo.
Imagine NPCs (maybe rendered as famous actors) becoming more and more believable until you won't be able to tell. What about a Blade Runner game where the game is to figure out if its an NPC or not and the decide to retire them or not. Or you can do a manhunt on Elon Musk? (just spitballin here!) Or what about putting together your dream band or sports team and you get to play with them? At the speed things are moving now, this stuff could easily happen in 5-10 years. It'll get to the point where people will rather be plugged in 24/7 than face real life. Not too long from now supercomputers and all the AI stuff thats in development are going to make now look like Windows 95.

I'm picturing being able to walk around outside, mentally dial into a frequency and have the stuff piped directly into your head. You could argue that's still streaming though, just to the brain rather than an external device.
Can sound get more dematerialised than streaming?

yeah, in the 80s there were rumours of military technology that could "beam" audio in to a targeted individual within a crowd, signals like "KILL KILL KILL!"
and we now KNOW that that technology really exists
edit: I couldn't find the tech spec from 1985 from an audiophile company that promised "targeted audio", but my rule of thumb is that if you've heard of it then the military knew about it 30 years beforehand

Could imagine a generative soundtrack reacting to your environment a bit like that Chemical Brothers tune with the video looking out from the train. Or the PS2 game Rez.
