In today's lecture we continued our discussion on Lev Manovich. More specifically, we directed our focus on the cultural transformation aspect of his theories. At the end of the lecture you posed the personal opinion of Manovich that the database and narrative are natural enemies, then asked us how we can challenge this thought.
Even though they are opposites in term of content, I would argue that they work hand in hand in creating a system of multiple mediums that allows for a broad range of possibilities. Although information is now popularly being processed through information databases, there is still a place for narrative in our world and always will be. It is the balance of the two that make them both individually powerful and effective.
