Minutes & seconds: the Scientists

Minutes & Seconds, is a captivating intelligible read for those who strive to understand where the “what if” moment has gone. Succeeding his other captivating books, Aievoli’s deep introspective lens dials his readers in to awaken the proverbial sleeping giant inside of our consciousness. He designs an insightful exciting romp through the surreal landscape of our society and illustrates how various pioneers have lead us to a crossroads. I’m truly impressed with Aievoli’s perspicacious comprehension of where digital has taken us through the hands of these select individuals. --Sequoyah Wharton In creating Minutes & Seconds, Aievoli has assembled an interesting compilation of scientists and their respective inventions or contributions that have not only changed the world as we know it, but have stretched our intellect and imaginations. -- Jennifer Cusumano doi 10.13014/K2FT8J8Mhttps://digitalcommons.unl.edu/zeabook/1067/thumbnail.jp

Veal: The Rise of Generation Interactive

The purpose of this book is to investigate and discuss the premise that the current generation was constructed to be consumers for a transitional marketplace. As the economy shifted from analog to digital, consumers had to be trained to accept, use and progress within a new economic model through changes in societal and economic patterns. During the course of this book those patterns will be discussed and displayed as a confluence of: Marketplace manipulation, Abusive use of technologies, and Lack of governance. In this book I discuss how those events are reflected in the habits and lifestyles of the current 12 to 25 year old demographic globally and how it has caused them to be the consummate consumer of digital goods based on events that have been created to develop them to be consumers and to be consumed. One of the first questions is whether this was the fault of parenting; in my opinion – no, it was more the position families were placed in and how they best could survive. When many events come into play and seemingly conspire to force families to re-invent themselves, it is not so much the fault of the “herd” but the result of the “rancher”.https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/zeabook/1047/thumbnail.jp

Supporting the Aesthetic Through Metaphorical Thinking

During my time at the C. W. Post campus of Long Island University, I have been fortunate to be the mentor to a number of art majors who have also been honors students. During this time I have found that defining the fine line between input and output needs to be finessed. These students normally deal with the visual image and how it relates directly to their own personal work. In many cases, especially with freshman and sophomore students, their understanding of creativity is that an artist’s inspiration comes out of thin air. As they progress through their academic years and through the honors process, they start to understand that this is not the case. Their scope of comprehension broadens, and their ability to use this new found capability helps them in other areas of their discipline and throughout their core courses as well; however, keeping the balance between influence and derivation is a difficult task. The possibilities of derivation and influence were defrayed by requiring these students to focus their honors tutorial and thesis projects on topics not directly related to their specific discipline in the visual arts. In this paper I will discuss how I have used the honors method to impose a strong research framework, based on metaphorical thinking, which has subsequently improved the artistic process of four art students

The Digital Incunabula: rock • paper • pixels

“The Digital Incunabula is Patrick Aievoli’s personal sonnet through media, interaction and communication design. He carefully crafts each evolutionary step into ripples that are supported by his own storied professional and academic experiences. It’s full of facts, terms and historical information which makes it perfect for anyone looking to flat out learn!” ● James Pannafino, Professor, Millersville University & Interaction Design “This is a serious work that will find a broad community of readers. The depth and breadth of Aievoli’s experience in the publication industry give his voice and ideas credibility in the extreme. This book will inspire deep reflection.” ● Dr. Joan Digby, Professor, LIU Post – English Department & Director, Honors College “Very interesting read and gives a real sense of the transformation we have gone through over the past 50+ years. … I really like the first hand account.” ● Steve Carniol, Director of Online Technology and Instructional Design at Galen College of Nursing “You’ve got a great textbook here for designers. I really like how you break down each category (entertainment, education, etc...) It’s a fascinating look at technology and where it’s taking us.” ● Dr. Jennifer Cusumano, Adjunct media professor, LIU Post “Well documented, well written, and well argued.” ● Dr. Michael Soupios, Professor Political Science, LIU Posthttps://digitalcommons.unl.edu/zeabook/1032/thumbnail.jp
