Kenan Doyle Branam
Allow me to introduce myself…
I’m going to montage you with a fast trip through many “life times” or careers.
[POLL THE PEOPLE IN THE SEMINAR NOW]
BTW, neither is my life path linear…a lot of branching and parallels. [
I was born on Perl Harbor Day in 1940 with a Number 2 pencil in my hand and was sketching before I could talk. Actually, it took me about 50 years to learn to talk. Now, I can’t shut up!
I was Really Right Brained.
In high school and college, I painted with pastel and oil. In the cultural environment of Tyler, Texas I felt like an odd duck, having both an interest in science and art, but found my role models in such as Leonardo D'Vinci and Michelangelo, and later in Einstein, later in Tim Berners-Lee, and other Web-Brained thinkers.
(Saxon taught me to solve problems in math.)
In 1959, in my senior year of high school, I got my first job in broadcast television at KLTV in Tyler, Texas.
After graduation, I moved to Austin and worked at KTBC about 50 hours a week & attended The University majoring in Physics and Mathematics…bootlegging art courses. I never understood why I couldn’t take art courses in the school of Arts & Sciences.
In 1965, I moved to Houston to work at KPRC, Channel 26 and Channel 39. I directed the Noon shows, 10 o’clock news, kiddy shows, and commercial spot production…
…. still bootlegging art courses at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
In broadcast TV, I had a green-room view of the events of the world… behind the scenes, reading between the lines of mass consciousness. Making art out of retail product shots, automobiles, and sexy ice cream, and fashion.
Women’s Ware Daily***
In the early 70s, I was recruited into the advertising agency world with S. L. Brown as the first recruit with television experience, where I learned to buy all media demographically, produce radio, television, outdoor and newspaper, and create Regional American Motors media.
At Goodwin Dannenbaum, Littman & Wingfield, Houston’s largest independent agency…I produce Texas statewide political commercials and weekly retail spots for Foley’s department store.. taking them from three stores to 15. We won awards from Women’s Wear Daily for our fashion spots.
Then with an agency in Galveston, I produced spots for city tourism and a series of documentaries on Galveston historical district renaissance: The Strand, the Grand Opera House, and ten of the oldest homes and mansions on the island.
It was almost a decade before I found video a better medium for my creative spirit:
It Moved and made Sounds!
As an artist, I approached the video medium in the same spirit as a graphic artist…fully immersed in the possibilities and limitations of the various media–asking what can I do with oil paint, wood, stone, oil paint, photography, etc.
(playing the video) Hey guys! This was before digital effects! We had “feedback” – the essential nature of the video media.
And, for the first time, I really became interested in the abstract of the video media… seeing the harmonics of scan lines and standing-waves producing images from the real world as well as an imaginary world. I saw the future of digital art and … then the world of Rock & Roll Video… what I called Vusic!!
Ten years before ABC in concert aired the first music videos in Stereo, I produced the first commercial broadcast of television simultaneously on radio—a simul-cast.
I was leaving my lonely world of individualistic artist in favor of Group Art.. inspired by the Beatles, Moody Blues, and others. Television was all about team work and real-time performance.
[…….. And one of the first, special interest television series, the American Horse & Horseman Show… syndicated in 63 cities around the United States.
15 Episodes
Staring Dale Robertson…and Lady Bird Johnson’s $100,000 Arabian…
And some TV campaigns for Shell-Agrahealth.
[PLAY VIDEO] Horses and young ladies… Broadcast TV doesn’t get much sexier than that!
Again, kind of like bootlegging art courses, ---
From 1974 to 1984, I studied Gestalt Therapy and other cognitive modalities while living in an intentional Gestalt community in downtown Houston. I received a Mastership in Gestalt Awareness from the Gestalt Institute of Houston with over 3300 hours of internship… 8 years!
Doctors, Leland Johnson and Maryann Merksamer who was a student of Fritz Perls, were my mentors and fellow staff.
Guest faculty included Frank Rubenfeld, Ilana Rubenfeld, Eric Marcus, Jean Houston, Leonard Orr, and other nationally recognized leaders in the Association for Humanistic Psychology.
The Gestalt approach to individual therapy as practiced by Fritz Perls, is a way of being with your self and in relationship that enhances personal growth and healing.
The technique combines, not only the ancient concepts of yoga, T’a Chi, but modern therapies developed in the last forty years by psychologist such as
Abraham Maslow (Maslow Hierarchy),
Carl Rogers (Person Centered Therapy),
Moreno (Psychodrama, the precursor of The Method - Stanislavski ),
Virginia Satir, Eric Berne, James Hillman, and many other humanistic psychologists. Gestalt techniques are also used by many therapist in individual, family systems, and recover programs.
[As an independent producer, I worked directly with clients:, Fortune 500 CEOs, human resource managers, marketing department managers, technical experts, and U.S. Presidents.
I produced everything from retail employee training, energy business how-to, business-to-business marketing, to waste management services.
In 1994, as the World Wide Web began to appear in the media news, I plunged into the New Media… wanting to immerse myself in understanding the Web and hypertext as I did in video.
Growing up in video, I knew would be different than learning a whole new medium, but I knew there would be a Art to it as well.
Today, I work mostly on the Web. I have a vision that integrates Web technologies, motion media, and even interactive broadcast television.
Teacher/Philosopher
As I said, I finally learned to speak. I started speaking, teaching, and facilitating in “sink or swim” encounter groups, later, video production crews, and in many, many opportunities as an ITVA Chapter Leader.
I love the media, of course, as you all do or you wouldn’t be here today.
I’m biased, of course, I believe that the media represents, reflects, and to a growing degree, manipulates mass consciousness of our culture, and more everyday, the rest of the world.
I believe it is our responsibility to use the power of the media to educate, heal, and evolve our mass consciousness.
My life is as a student.
I approached every phase of my life as an opportunity to learn more about myself and the world I live in.
So, I continue to study, not just the latest media technology and all things that touch it… and everything does.
Not just the new media but all that we have inherited from human history of communication arts & sciences from our first grunts and sign language, cave drawings, monuments, to the future technologies, … all are media. In effect, the Theory of Everything.

Quantum Physics
Wholeness
& the Implicate Order
“… a system cannot be analyzed into parts. This leads to the radically new notion of unbroken wholeness of the entire universe. You cannot take it apart. For if you do, what you end up with is not contained within the original whole. It is created by the act of analysis."
David Bohm
Webpage
Quantum Physics: Wholeness & the Implicate Order
David Bohm
Matter is not a “thing,” it is energy IN the Field.
It is a Process, a form, MEDIUM.
Whether human consciousness creates the forms and meaning is quite the controversy!
Underlying David Bohm’s innovative approach to the fundamental idea that beyond the visible, tangible world there lies a deeper, implicate order of wholeness.
Bohm believes that life and consciousness are enfolded deep in the generative order and are therefore present in varying degrees of unfoldment in all matter, including supposedly "inanimate" matter such as electrons or plasmas. He suggests that there is a "protointelligence" in matter, so that new evolutionary developments do not emerge in a random fashion but creatively as relatively integrated wholes from implicate levels of reality. The mystical connotations of Bohm's ideas are underlined by his remark that
the implicate domain "could equally well be called Idealism, Spirit, Consciousness.
The separation of the two -- matter and spirit -- is an abstraction. The ground is always one."

By the mid-1990s his discoveries led him to develop a fundamentally new conceptual framework, applying to many existing foundational problems in physics, biology, computer science, mathematics and several other fields. Paradigm shift of historic proportions.
Cellular automata provide simple discrete deterministic mathematical models for physical, biological and computational systems. Despite their simple construction, cellular automata are shown to be capable of deterministically, complicated behavior, and to generate complex patterns with universal features.

Let’s turn the equation around 180.
Permit me an iso morphism "spin" on Einstein's formula.
<!-- In mathematics, an (in Greek isos = equal and morphe = shape) is a kind of mapping between objects. Douglas Hofstadter provides an informal definition:
The word "isomorphism" applies when two complex structures can be mapped onto each other, in such a way that to each part of one structure there is a corresponding part in the other structure, where "corresponding" means that the two parts play similar roles in their respective structures.
(Gödel, Escher, Bach, p. 49)
-- >
Let’s suppose that:
Then, C which equals the speed of Light, a “constant”, they say.
Consciousness is often referred to as “light”…like human cognition which has “content & context”.
Let’s suppose that C squared refers to Consciousness “reflecting” on itself
Or consciousness “shared” with others beings in some Form of Communication.
M equates to Mass which is Form – STUFF --like the path of movement of smaller particles in an atom– a kind of MEDIUM.
E equals Energy equates to the Human Experience. Experience is like Energy, both which we still cannot define in clearer terms than “something that happens” an “action” or “movement of something” in a kind of process or pattern…
Perhaps we could phrase the equation like this:
Consciousness Communicated through a Medium creates the Human Experience.
e=mc²
e = energy ~ The Human Experience
m = mass ~ Medium ~ Form ~ Meaning
c = light ~ Consciousness ~ Cognition

The World is Flat by Thomas L. Friedman
After 100 years that Einstein presented his theory, most people have no idea what it means.
Even though Mass Media makes 7-second sound bytes out of it and mentions a few movies, such as What the Bleep Do We Know, we still live in a Flat World culture and conceptualize in maybe two-dimensions of space plus time.
Why should we care?
Inquiring minds want to know? Yep!

Note: there is also an industrial music band called Synæsthesia.
Does a form of synaesthesia exist in everyone? It appears that people may not attach sounds to shapes arbitrarily. A remote tribe calls one of these shapes Booba and the other Kiki. Decide which is which, then click through to find the most common answer.
Synaesthesia (also spelled synesthesia); from the Greek (syn-) “union”, and (aesthesis) “sensation”; is the neurological mixing of the senses. A synaesthete may, for example, hear colors, see sounds, and taste tactile sensations. Although this may happen in a person who has autism, it is by no means exclusive to autistics. Synaesthesia is a common effect of some hallucinogenic drugs such as LSD or mescaline.

“Knowledge thus exists in relationship

Information IS Relationship
Making sense is about having an integrated experience: seeing, hearing, touching, and other senses. Understanding requires an interactive experience, a relationship, with someone, something, some event, or some concept. The cognitive process is multidimensional, perhaps beyond the four dimensions of time and space. There is no single first step or linear path for our logical mind to follow but a complex of many connections and relationships.

Sacred Geometry Home Page by Bruce Rawles
In nature, we find patterns, designs and structures from the most minuscule particles, to expressions of life discernible by human eyes, to the greater cosmos. These inevitably follow geometrical archetypes, which reveal to us the nature of each form and its vibrational resonances. They are also symbolic of the underlying metaphysical principle of the inseparable relationship of the part to the whole. It is this principle of oneness underlying all geometry that permeates the architecture of all form in its myriad diversity. This principle of interconnectedness, inseparability and union provides us with a continuous reminder of our relationship to the whole, a blueprint for the mind to the sacred foundation of all things created.

FRACTALS
Fractal geometry models objects that are infinitely complex. It is a better way to describe the objects we see in our daily lives. The idea of a "fractal" was proposed by Mandelbrot (Gleick 1987). He defines it as a curve which is independent of scale; this is a key fractal property referred to as self-similarity.
This means that no matter how closely we focus in on any part of the curve, there is more complexity, and an identical form to the whole. A fractal dimension provides a way to measure the roughness of fractal curves. With traditional Euclidean objects, a point has a dimension of 0, a line has a dimension of 1, a plane has a dimension of 2, and a solid has a dimension of 3. With fractals, the dimension is not necessarily an integer. Green states that "the dimension of a fractal curve is a number that characterizes the way in which the measured length between given points increases as scale decreases" (1995). A jagged line would have dimension between 1 and 2; and a cloud would have a dimension between 3 and 4. Hence, the fractal dimension can be looked at as a measurement of the roughness of the curve. It lies within its topological dimension.

Fullerenes
Carbon 60, a hollow cluster of carbon atoms, is the roundest, most symmetrical large molecule known. It is exceedingly rugged and very stable, capable of surviving the temperature extremes of outer space. Carbon readily forms complex molecules that are the basis of the chemistry of living organisms and of the nearly infinite variety of industrial polymers that give us synthetic fibers and plastics.
The discovery was serendipitous. It came inadvertently in 1985 during research at Rice University by Richard E. Smalley, Harry Kroto, and their associates--fundamental experiments aimed at understanding how long-chain molecules are formed in outer space. Carbon, of course, is one of the most versatile of all atoms. It readily forms complex molecules that are the basis of the chemistry of living organisms and of the nearly infinite variety of industrial polymers that give us synthetic fibers and plastics. Even the pure forms of carbon, graphite and diamond, have important commercial uses, from industrial lubricants to cutting tools. So it might seem obvious that the unique properties and intricate structure of buckminsterfullerene would also lead to important technological applications.

Systems Theory or systemics
is an interdisciplinary field which studies systems as a whole.
Many so called “Systems” theories, attempt to define, structure, and control various complex (chaotic?) living systems existing at the cell, organ, organism, group, organization, society, political, and astronomical levels.
Systems theory was founded by Ludwig von Bertalanffy, William Ross Ashby and others between the 1940s and the 1970s on principles from physics, biology and engineering and later grew into numerous fields including philosophy, sociology, organizational theory, management, psychotherapy (within family systems therapy) and economics among others. Cybernetics is a closely related field.
In recent times complex systems has increasingly been used as a synonym.

We have projected our brain’s neural network, the physical structure of our mind on to the technology of the Internet.
Through reflection on our creation, we become more conscious of our mental identity.

The Semantic Web
provides a common framework that allows data to be shared and reused across application, enterprise, and community boundaries. It is a collaborative effort led by W3C with participation from a large number of researchers and industrial partners. It is based on the Resource Description Framework (RDF), which integrates a variety of applications using XML for syntax and URIs for naming.
"The Semantic Web is an extension of the current web in which information is given well-defined meaning, better enabling computers and people to work in cooperation." -- Tim Berners-Lee, James Hendler, Ora Lassila, The Semantic Web, Scientific American, May 2001

c²m=e ~ The Experience
The Medium of the Web
It’s About the Experience
The Internet is not just another venue for the distribution of unsolicited, in-your-face advertising. It's a channel for truly interactive, user-centered communication.
The Internet can deliver information with greater dimension and depth than older communication technology. But the Audience demands and deserves a more Meaningful Experience and Trust & Privacy.
A meaningful experience is about sharing an integrated sensor experience: seeing, hearing, touching, and other senses. Understanding requires an interactive experience, a relationship, with someone, something, some event, or some concept.
The Web is a literate medium first, not just a visual medium.
The Web is an active rather than a passive medium.
The Web is a time-sensitive environment.
The very purpose of the Web is about sharing of knowledge through links—hypertext.
The Web is global and local
