World flow countrified_3

As the world takes aid of technology to make life easier, it(technology) becomes more complex. This complexity has to be represented in a simple way, with a simple face, an easy shell that is simple for people to use. To learn how to design this face/shell is a constant endevour, which I understand to be interaction design.

Milan - city as a floor for celebration

I just watched the last 30 mins of play, with friends, by the naviliglo. The navilglos are water canals, which criss cross around the centre of Milan, thats where you have all the bars, lounges fancy places, and everybody puts up big screens for people to watch; aperitivo time, buy the drink the food's free.

There was one good moment which was captured very well, after Zidane got the red card, showing his back with the number 10 jersey, going down the stairs with the cup in the foreground, did you see that? its worth keeping a clip of that.

I was alone, i got waiting for Elisa's call, and missed my other friends, it might sound strange but it didnt matter who was next to you, it was dance all throughout, glee dancing to the sound of victory. I went on top of the statue in front of Duomo, meeting people from all over, everybody nodding their head with a satisfied smile if not bellowing sounds of joy.

It rocks where i am;
after a while i didnt bother, it was not about taking pictures, i dont have lots, it was either pump and dance, or take pictures, i chose to pump and dance.

I didnt feel alone without friends, there were djs all around Duomo...blasting sounds of victory; it didnt matter now, the win was there, strongly secure, Italy was happy, high energy around me, like a big rave, frenzy dancing everybody, people half naked, hugging, kissing, screaming, pumping to the beat of victory.

At Duomo when Italy beat Ukraine in the football worldcup quarter finals

Like most Italian cities Milan's city centre also has a church with a large piazza, its called piazza Duomo, because the church is called the Duomo, and the entire city has radially expanded around this cathedral. And its here that Italy's largest television provider installs a huge l.e.d. screen and the match is broadcast. Huge crowds gather, trumpets, bellows, football songs, abuses fill the piazza as a dense aural cloud, a continuous shower of sounds.Its summer, the young precipitate the alcohol excess as sweat. Its the smell of a crazied nation seeking victory. Now that explains my meek presence, with my canon ixus and beer cans from the supermarket, to be amidst the energy, to be a part of the frenzied crowd, to shed my meekness, to record the and store the energy, in something as banal as pixels. A full bodied crowd's energy is so powerful that it can transform, and that transformation is addictive.
