Janet H. Murray. "Toward a Cultural Theory of Gaming: Digital Games and the Co-Evolution of Media, Mind, and Culture."
Of course the two sides, holy culture and game culture have relationship together, it means, games reflect the tendencies of culture, and it also reverse ways. A couple of years ago in Germany, one pupil in high school have killed his friends and teacher in school. After this accident, there were so many discussions about the function of games. (Computer games) The main themes were that, game solves the violence of human through virtual violence in games?, or games stimulate more violence of human. I think, it was question without answer, but anyway the both sides live very close.

Therese Tierney "Formulating Abstraction: Conceptual Art and the Architectural Object " Leonardo 2007 vol.40.
In this text the author tries to explain architecture from conceptual art 1960s. Beginning of 80s come the new wave on architecture field (post modern architecture) in my thought, to explain or understanding this 80s new movement in architecture, first we must look back to the last years of modernism of art, (or beginning of post modern) so called 60s. At that time there were so many social & cultural changing, through this time; on all art formats (visual art, literature, dancing etc) we can observe “the sign (as experiment, various formats, dematerialization, deconstruction etc)” ready time to change. Anyways these waves from 60s, became more and more big, so early 80s, finally we could see full growth, concrete post-modernism art-works.
So the author has concentrated the new characters of architectures and connected that with conceptual art.

Vizster: Visualizing Online Social Networks
To visulaize of Information seems quite interesting thema for contemporary visual art, because nowadays there are so many information with thousand of format (format as newspaper, advertising, internet news etc.) So we can not contact all this infos or news, because of its quantity, theses infos stay just there as image, not information.
Secound interestin things about infos is, when we want to get infos, we are sitting in front of monitor, not going to another people, it means, the infos does not exist between peoples but in the format of infos. So all this visulized informations could not be a really infos as before but as image.
When i was first time in 'seound life' in web, i should write two identification. One is the identity for 'seound life' in online, and seound was really identification of me. I don't know why, but anyway i wrote all this two identification as fake. Maybe i don't want to make new id in online, or to make new id in online.
