Watch the video Web 2.0 … The Machine is Us/ing Us by Kansas State University Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology Michael Wesch. In his blog he covers a bit more in depth on the various aspects of this unique view of the world. He is quoted as writing:
My videos explore mediated culture, seeking to merge the ideas of Media Ecology and Cultural Anthropology.
Professor Wesch introduced me to the phrase Digital Ethnography. Wikipedia defines Ethnography as “people writing.” A bit more complex definition appears to be writing that describes human social phenomena using both qualitative and quantitative descriptions intertwined to best explain the observations. It is used often in anthropology.
By extrapolation Digital Ethnography could be described as understanding the way humans use digital forms of expression to interact using a combination of modern delivery mechinisms and mediums.
René Descartes said, “I think, therefore I am.”
Professor Wesch might say, “You create, therefore we create.”
And I get the easy line of, “Cool Video.”
I explain daily to clients that reaching out to create lets others reach out to you, thanks to Professor Wesch for showing the history leading to Web 2.0.

[...] A million views and counting, Digital Ethnography will really make you think about the history of the recent change from print to digital creation. Billions of images indexed by Google makes Guess-the-Google challenging and addictive. Got less than a $1000 to spend, then look how to take an inexpensive television and make it into a flat panel LCD in 1 step. This is Techlife. [...]

[...] We always encourage educators, as we recently featured Dr. Wesch’s Digital Ethnography, we thought “Social Search” with a personality sounds fun. Upon arriving we were right. The site lets you build a custom robot. Who wouldn’t want to do that? The visuals are stimulating and fun, while still easy to use. I would have liked a few more choices for robot parts, but as you can see my bot is still pretty cool looking. Nice Job Mark. [...]

The topic of information and the processing of it, certainly has become of interest to the readers of this column. [...]

[...] Blaise presents the fact that our current interactions with visual data is very limited. He feels the future of data will allow quicker navigation and more complete views. I like the way he shows off an entire Charles Dicken’s novel and is easily able to zoom into a single letter from the whole book. This type of data interaction is clearly what Professor Wesch meant with Digital Ethnography. But clearly the demo’s pinnacle is the Notre Dame Cathedral shown from any angle using only images from Flickr. [...]

[...] The full exhibit is online at Little People - a tiny street art project: Little hand painted people left in London to fend for themselves. We view this art as a form of Artistic Ethnography - understanding humans in their natural environment visually. [...]
