Munchener WebDesign company Feels by contributions "fear"

As you get into the net, it is known to sound again. However, this experience is fully new for the company 3points.

About a year ago, an employee of the company seemed the pages of the Association Blaster to make a bit of advertising under different keywords: "As a full service Internet agency 3points offers you conception, realization and online marketing from a single source. Our e-mail: info @ 3points.de."

This mervically annoyed the participants of this write project based on automatically linked keywords, so that they warned in return, among other things, before the supposedly bad service of 3points. Then nothing happened for a long time. But a few days ago, the leaders of the sudden post from Oliver Kostinek received the boss of the Munchener Webdesign company:

Dear ladies and gentlemen, the lines below I found on search engines on 3points. The name 3Points is written by us and we also operate actively under. After also statements like "F U C K 3Points" And much more on your side can be found and gearing search engines bring about your content hits, we urge you urgently, everything about 3points up to the 07.09.2001 to release from your database.

We have been made aware of this pounding by our customers. We currently see from a claim for damages against you and the Merz Academy, which hosts your appearance.

If you do not remove the content immediately, we will become a claim for damages against the operator O. G. Domain and the Merz Academy strive for. (The content is apparently visible many months). Furthermore, we will give the case to our lawyer and complain below. The terms are all trap in the six-digit area. Breakfast Oliver Kostinek

At the same time, Kostinek should also have threatened the Merz Academy, on whose server the AB pages are threatened with a lawsuit. The Stuttgart University of Applied Sciences responded according to the ie of the prompt and demanded the release of the texts in question. However, this is rejected by the creators of the AB consistently:

"For us it is unacceptable, the project under the motto ‘the decision lies with us to present the users’, and at the same time to remove individual texts on request. The 3Points employees, like any other user of the association blaster, could use the evaluation system to hide the in-depth texts in their opinion."

Nevertheless, you have deactivated your project last week before. You now want to move to your own server to continue to avoid uncensored from there. And they act accordingly in the sense of the slogan "The World Communicates Online Anytime Anywhere" – with the incurred the company 3Points advertises on your web page for your definite great service.

The photokina presented a successful mix of technological and cultural aspects.

On the PHOTOKINA entered on Sunday, the digital imaging showed itself as established. Maybe that’s why the cultural aspect of photography played, especially represented by the Visual Gallery, this year a much greater role than two years ago. The already of the photokina was thus the incomparable mix of technological and cultural aspects. A knife and both worlds.

When the first photokina was opened in 1950, visitors entered the exhibition halls through an introduction show in which both presentations of photographs and as well as prefailings of films were shown. Travel Years later wrote the initiator of the photokina picture shows, l. Fritz Gruber, the photokina is a manifestation of the "Total phannomas photograph" been. Today, in a time in which long sets fall to the efficiency dictation to the victim, the term for this phenomenon has "Imaging" embarrassed.

At the beginning of the 1980s, the picture shows were set. PHOTOKINA threatened to transform into a pure industrial fair whose industrial products were necessary for the generation of contemporary culture, whose culture products, but at the trade fair itself, acted a marginal place or as advertising. Therefore, it was generally buried very much when the previous photokina was established for the first time the Visual Gallery as a cultural ingredient.

Digital imaging has established itself

The fair has clearly shown that the quality of digital images is no more controversial topic. In particular in the professional segment, technological maturation is observed. Current topics are the establishment of practical standards for communication of color over the entire process chain from the generation of an image, its transmission, up to the presentation on the Internet and its output as prere.

Measurement calibration and color management are possible with the professional monitors presented at the trade fair. Clearly the LCD has prevailed as a display technology, where the opinion prevailed before two, three years ago, only tube monitors were practicable to be calibrated.

During the presentation of color in the professional monitors has been optimized and becomes, has not changed much at the pointlessness for many years. For example, the manufacturer’s specification for the NEC SpectraView 2180 is 0.27 mm point distance. This corresponds to 94 points per inch (PPI). The often specified measuring groove "dpi" (Dots per inch), who like to carry out the manufacturers of inkjet printers in front of them, leaving increasingly to confusion, because a dot does not necessarily correspond to a pixel. Inkjet printer, for example, put together a pixel of several printing draws, which makes 1440 dpi and more necessary.

But this has nothing to do with the hearing perceptible by the human eye. Its limit is set for normal ones with 6 lines per mm or 150 ppi. In order to communicate such a structure safely, grid should be used with the double resolution, so 300 dpi. (Factor 2 is known as Q-factor from the printing system.) This is exactly the resolution of most thermosublimation printers or from office standard laser printers. However, since the ink jet printers suggest an immensely high resolution of 1440 or 2880 dpi, there is, for example, Olympus with one "only" 316 DPI supplying thermosublimation printers into real statement notes. An unjust situation, where even high-end monitors can provide poorer resolutions, and no technology on the horizon can be visible, which could change in the next few years.

In the consumer area, no end of pixel survivor is expected. Although, in technical experts, amusement of the slope of amateurs were heard to buy expensive 8 megapixel compact cameras, which mainly provide noisy images. Especially since such immensely high pixel number for the mostly chosen output formates pure overkill is. But as with the DPI, a simple multi-actual faith seems to be unprecedented in the kopf. In addition, marketing should not ignore the marketing argument so easy to ignore…

Classic footage, opposed market, hazardous traditional brands

On the 11. Symposium of the "Society for Imaging and Technology" IsT Don Franz (Photofinishing News, United States) failed that the sale of color negative films and disposable cameras will fall worldwide in the next few years. However, it is expected that the ruckle will only take place mabig, from currently about 2.9 billion. Stuck to about 2 billion. in 2010.

Nevertheless, the traditional brands Agfa and Ilford are in a thread this year. Agfa has spun off his field photography. Although the new management is optimistic, yet the label silver is sold: AgfaPhoto wants to separate from his inviolable Agfa Photo Historama collection, which is previously used as a permanent loan at the Kolner Museum Ludwig. Ilford, leading manufacturer of classic black and humolm materials, has been in England and Germany insolvency. Only the work in Switzerland, in which Ink-Jet papers are established, works profitably.

On the already mentioned IST Symposium that this time devoted itself to the focus on Mobile Imaging, but it became clear that the mobile phone camera market is not easy to see through. Although more mobile cams are sold worldwide this year as digital cameras. However, it is not clear, for example, whether the camera function is really used by the buyers or if they are simply one of the many unused functions.

Gerald Blessing of T-Mobile saw a serious communication problem for the mobile communications companies to convey the customer’s multiples of mobile phones overpath. A 3 megapixel Handycam supplies enough good images for the usage types to be observed. Since Mobile Images are mainly based on the use on the Internet, but monitors will not deliver higher loosures than today in the foreseeable future, this pixel number is sufficient for both screen views, as well as for 10 x 15 cm standard prints. An optimization of compression methods and improvement of user interfaces that allow the user easier to wallet of their own flood of images is more important than another pixels thrust.

Pictures look

The Visual Gallery alone with its 11 solo exhibitions and 5 preamplations of requests, such as the BFF and KODAK junior price, claimed a coarse share of visitor attention. In addition, further exhibitions were found in the exhibition halls, for example from Unicef and pictures of this year.-Erich-Salomon Prize Brauers wants McBride.

In the Visual Gallery, the presentation of the exhibition originated by the Agency VII was particularly expensive "From New York to Baghdad", The above all known photographers like James Nachtwey showed. The visitors had to go through black, confusing-winding corridors, the pictures were only to look at by cut-out rectangular windows. Not only this influenced dramatizing display filed the impression of little inner distance to the medium.

Dramatic presentation of dramatic photos: Christian Gapp

Virtually all pictures were in the Bob-Capa style of the "If your pictures are not good, then you have not been close enough to it" photographed. Scenes of Baghdad Fighting and Close-ups photographed US Marines were described in the caption as almost filmically illustrated. Made to say an understatement decades of media-military interactions.

Even the British military photographer Don McCullin had described how idiotically received the behavior of US Marines in the Hue of 1968. Like John Wayne, she had fallen into the city’s binding ripening and tarns in the city, always a good destination and thus their loss rate is unnotised. In "FULL METAL JACKET" Then the Marines were shown cinematically, the marines drawing in the Iraq war patch before use "with "FULL METAL JACKET" and the pictures of them then deliver the visual templates for future war films.

Quasi a cultural completion of the photokina formed the pronounced awarding of the Salomon Prize on the penultimate day of trade fairs to Will McBride. With his photoessay, since the end of the 1950s, he has not only documented the societal sexual departure mood, but also articulated. After his military service remained at the US Army in Germany, his works have always been controversial. The most harmless image of his pregnant woman Barbara called the Federal Preliminary Office on the plan in 1960. Currently it becomes rough format in the exhibition "Pictures and power" shown in the house of history in Bonn. Also his declaration book "show me" Sehren in the opinion of many conservative in the journalistic poison cabinet. In times of Padophiler Paranoia, it was certainly not a publisher anymore.

All the more important that the DGPH with the award ceremony on McBride, which has set the camera aside and works above all most picturesque and sculptural, now reminded of the services of his life’s work.

What Cancel Culture, Identatats Policy and Corona Mails is mean

The trap of messes. For the translation of works of the black Poetin Amanda Gorman, it requires people with matching skin color or after all adaquatem cultural background – an international phenomenon.

A nine-year-old "Youth news" In the form of a (supposedly?) Racist tweets prevents the professional career of a priced journalist, their apologies.

A renowned actor is seriously asking himself whether he may play sad people as a non-disabled person, disabled, as slimmer fats, or, not affected by mourning; from the possibility of "Blackfacing" Not to mention (star hour philosophy: cf. from minute 21:45). This in the face of hurting the risk of hurting the truth or the true identity of the affected group of people and to put their own reputation on the game.

In common is this falling that here is the moral conditions of the actions of persons who are negotiated, the conditions under which conditions to be attributed to a self and other persons. Attention or disregard. It’s about situational judgments about persons.1

Moral judgments are danger because they are reflexive, without "mitigating circumstances" and be given in terms of undoubted values of the paint of finality. Moral is reflective in his judgments, also to highlight the validity of values in their undoubtedly. This especially in view of dangers. Anyone who relativizes the value of life in the Corona crisis, is the risk of discreditating itself, not the morality referred to this value.

With regard to the reflection saversion, which, unlike ethics, is typical of morality, becomes clear, why in-mentioned falls explains, resignation, arguments, even apologies hardly show effectiveness. It is clear that a translator about the category currently disregarded "old women manner" is to be attributed to a reference to the quality of its work hardness.

Once branded as a racist, it is hardly more effective to clarify young people, that too "Identity" A construct dependent on situations and persons is. Where are the teenagers who like to watch themselves from their parents on parties with the same age?

Social reflection

Among social reflexivitat, the possibility should be understood to observe observations, ie already distinguishes differences again. As a result, the contingency of observations or perspectives can be made visible. So it can be found that a phanomena can be seen in a certain way, but not necessarily.

The morally unbiased observation of conspiracy theorists, for example, allowed to distinguish Angela Merkel or Donald Trump only as a politician, but also as a lizard-like beings that are camouflage.

In fact, the social progress in the last tens of thousands is as an increase in social reflexivitat, as a recesses of moral, reflexivitat rejection. Essentially, this is due to the different form of communication, through which societies reproduced, or reproduce.

Tribal companies, as early social formations, were only the shape of the cursive mouthful communication. The simple repetition of mouthful communication in the form of such residential traditions, rites and need existed these societies continuity and stability.

Preserved traditional expectations reflexive or even critically to question whose contingency was therefore hardly possible. According to today’s terms, the reflection of traditions was probably punished with strict moral disregard. There was no communicative safety net that had caught the risks of deviations from the expected. A deviation from a preserved tradition would have been equivalent to the immediate resolution of this tradition.

The cursiveness and exclusive of aerial communication allowed hardly possible to explore any possibilities away from necessities. Tribal companies, in the radical contrast to modern society, could therefore be reproduced to a variety of tens of thousands of years only in almost unexplained form.2

First the invention of the "Communicative safety network" The written situation and later, above all, the development of letterpress printing allows a positive connotation of reflexivitat. This became very characteristic of society. In which modern society reproducing by written communication was now relatively uncovered to distinguish already differently without loss of complexity again. Without risk, as it had been in tribal companies, that traditions, already kept lost, it was questioned, was devoted by the tested expected expected.

The opposite became normal. Due to the book culture, the modern society accrues reflexive with complexity. Multi-perspective, the critical reference to topics that will generate alternative perspectives – preserves – relatively risk. Changing, progress, innovation, creativity could become positive-matched terms.

The reflective generation of quotas perspectives is even functionally secured in modern society. Any social facts, any event can be observed under different aspects, for example after mapping of politics, business, law, science, art, education, religion, mass media.

Also in the social self-description – for example "market" or "democratically" – expresses that modern society understands as a reflective. So marketed the observation of the contingency of services, qualities and prices. Democracies, in view of the contrast of government and opposition, the observation of the contingency of the exudation of power, or political programs.

In view of the fundamental importance of reflexivitat, which is the modern society, astonished that currently a social trend towards the reflection painful revival of moral tunnel gains plausibility. This shows in the beginning mentioned balancing identity policy and Cancel Culture.

But also with a view to current corona mails. These are to be reflexic to understand as morally dominated. Currently, it is hardly possible to question socially dominant epidemiological perspective (fundamental) for more than one year. Who critically turns out the contingency of current Corona policy, for example from the perspective of the educational system or the science system, ran quickly in danger of complying with moral disregard.

Which social changes of recent years have required this tendency?
