Noah Wardrip-Fruin presented "Screen" at Siggraph2007
"Screen explores memory as a virtual experience - a form of virtuality that cuts across all times and cultures, but that we experience anew with the rise of digital virtuality. Here memories begin displayed as we wish they were: fixed texts, stable like pages. But soon the language of memory begins to peel loose. You can hit words back with your hand, but they don't always return to their origins, they break apart, and they peel faster and faster." Collaborators: Noah Wardrip-Fruin, Sascha Becker, Josh Carroll, Robert Coover, Shawn Greenlee, and Andrew McClain
With Stephen Boyd, Ava Pierce, and Jeffrey Kuramoto

Award for Distinguished
Contributions to the International Advancement of Psychology
Note published
in American Psych Association Monitor, vol 37, no 5
2006
Michael Cole, PhD. Cole is an APA fellow and professor
of communication, psychology and human development at the
University of California, San Diego. After receiving his doctorate
from Indiana University in 1962, he went to Moscow as a postdoctoral
fellow and worked with A.R. Luria, a preeminent psychologist
of the Soviet Union, whose theories influenced Cole's future
research. According to Cole, he has for many years "been
seeking to develop a mediational theory of mind building upon
the traditions of Russian cultural-historical activity theories
and American pragmatic social sciences."
Early in his career, he began to conduct international and
cross-cultural research on cognitive development, especially
as it relates to the role of literacy and schooling. His recent
research has been devoted to a longitudinal study of individual
and organizational change within educational activities specially
designed for after-school hours. This research makes extensive
use of new communication technologies and the use of computers
and computer networks in research with both children in community
settings and with undergraduates. He is also studying the
use of interactive video-conferencing as a medium for teaching
and interinstitutional collaboration.
