This new version, the X, takes a lot of cues from the previous version, with many upgrades in quality and precision. Considering the thousands of specialized parts, Martin, the creator of the X has sought after the help of machinists and designers across the world to aid in the creation process. The project has been ongoing for a little over a year now, and following the completion of the project, Martin will take the X on tour with his band Wintergatan. The team of nearly two dozen creators, many of which Martin has never met in person, exemplify the Crowdsourcing model.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/d4tpRFoLXbw?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"irc_mi aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tobias-gutmann.de\/images\/mmx.jpg\" alt=\"Image result for marble machine X\" width=\"832\" height=\"692\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Strategy 2: DIY<\/h2>\n<h3>Project: Make Your Own Graphics Card<\/h3>\n<h4>Description:<\/h4>\n<p>For many years now, Ben Eeater has created DIY micro-processing-computers on his YouTube channel. He has explored many of the fundamental circuits and programming techniques for the field of Computer Science, touching upon everything from SR-Latches to Assembly Language. His profound ability to explain complex computational concepts has led to a reputation of the DIY God of Simply Computing. Recently, he created a video featuring the actual processes that go into classic graphics cards, how to build one, and how to actually use it using parts that have existed in the hobbyist market for decades. With just a bit of circuit understanding and a basic grasp on programming essentials, even the most novice of viewers can be creating their own 8-bit computer in through the guidance of Ben Eater.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"11385\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/jolineblais.net\/nmd200\/journal-9-mike-gecawicz\/screen-shot-2019-12-04-at-12-30-17-pm\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/jolineblais.net\/nmd200\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Screen-Shot-2019-12-04-at-12.30.17-PM.png\" data-orig-size=\"977,1200\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Screen Shot 2019-12-04 at 12.30.17 PM\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/jolineblais.net\/nmd200\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Screen-Shot-2019-12-04-at-12.30.17-PM-834x1024.png\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11385 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/jolineblais.net\/nmd200\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Screen-Shot-2019-12-04-at-12.30.17-PM-834x1024.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"834\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jolineblais.net\/nmd200\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Screen-Shot-2019-12-04-at-12.30.17-PM-834x1024.png 834w, https:\/\/jolineblais.net\/nmd200\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Screen-Shot-2019-12-04-at-12.30.17-PM-244x300.png 244w, https:\/\/jolineblais.net\/nmd200\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Screen-Shot-2019-12-04-at-12.30.17-PM-768x943.png 768w, https:\/\/jolineblais.net\/nmd200\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Screen-Shot-2019-12-04-at-12.30.17-PM.png 977w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 834px) 100vw, 834px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/l7rce6IQDWs?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;start=1894&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Strategy 3: Upstage the Man<\/h2>\n<h3>Project:\u00a0an image of a girl releasing a red balloon &#8211; [destroyed]<\/h3>\n<p>In October of 2018, an original print of &#8220;an image of a girl releasing a red balloon&#8221; was up for auction. The piece was made by the most famous graffiti artists in the world \u2013 Banksy. Historically, Banksy has been hyper-critical of consumerism, and the standard understanding of government control\/bureaucratic systems. Out of protest, just after the titular print was sold for $1.4 million, a system rigged to automatically shred the print was activated remotely. In front of the auctioneers and the entire audience, the classical piece of art destroyed itself. Many have speculated on the meaning behind this, but it is clear that Banksy wanted to make a statement about the fine-art world and to mock &#8220;the man&#8221; where it hurts the most\u2013their wallet. As it goes, the print was still sold and is actually valued higher now than it was at auction thanks, in part, to the publicity around the stunt.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iiO_1XRnMt4?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"11387\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/jolineblais.net\/nmd200\/journal-9-mike-gecawicz\/image001-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/jolineblais.net\/nmd200\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/image001-2.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"385,578\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image001-2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/jolineblais.net\/nmd200\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/image001-2.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11387 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/jolineblais.net\/nmd200\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/image001-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"385\" height=\"578\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jolineblais.net\/nmd200\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/image001-2.jpg 385w, https:\/\/jolineblais.net\/nmd200\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/image001-2-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 385px) 100vw, 385px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Assignment: Pick 3 New Media Strategies from Journal 8 and find at least one project for each of these three strategies.
