In general ritualized practice is a fertile paradigm for the future of socially situated immersive computing. https://twitter.com/mathpunk/status/1265058096432525312">https://twitter.com/mathpunk/...
Almost exactly a year ago I was musing on Twitter about ritual or ceremonial practices as way of framing the shared expression of attention scaffolding. Springtime is when the crazies flock online, so I am well aware of how it looks but Ellison& #39;s paper emboldens me to run with it
To be clear I& #39;m not talking about Aleister Crowley shit here (unless you& #39;re into that, because you can totally do that). I& #39;m speaking in a far more abstract anthropological sense of practices that establish and contend with shared value systematically motivating shared attention
It seems to me ceremony is basis of all practice. It& #39;s just that most practices we would not call that, they are very organic and ad hoc versus very deliberate in the sense implied by ritual habits and practices. There& #39;s a range of highly intentional to highly playful in practice
