Refimprove date December 2009 Orphan date December 2009 Archi writing is a term used by French philosopher Jacques Derrida in his attempt to re orient the relationship between speech and writing. Derrida argued that as far back as Plato , speech had been always given priority over writing. In the West, phonetic writing was considered as a secondary imitation of speech, a poor copy of the immediate living act of speech. Derrida argued that in later centuries philosopher Jean Jacques Rousseau and linguist Ferdinand de Saussure both gave writing a secondary or parasitic role. In Derrida s essay Plato s Pharmacy , he sought to question this prioritising by firstly complicating the two terms speech and writing. According to Derrida, this complication is visible in the Greek word pharmakon , which meant both cure and poison. Derrida noted that Plato argued that writing was poisonous to memory, since writing is a mere repetition, as compared to the living memory required for speech. Derrida points out however, that since both speech and writing rely upon repetition they cannot be completely distinguished. In the neologism archi writing , archi meaning origin, principle or telos , attempts to go beyond the simple division of writing speech. Archi writing refers to a kind of writing that precedes both speech and writing. Derrida argued that Archi writing is, in a sense, language, in that it is already there before we use it, it already has a pregiven, yet malleable, structure genesis, which is a semi fixed set up of different words and syntax. This fixedness is the writing to which Derrida refers, just such a writing can even be seen in cultures that do not employ writing , it could be seen in notches on a rope or barrel, fixed customs, or placements around the living areas.

Packet writing technology achieves this by writing data in incremental blocks rather than in a single block. The most common file system for packet writing systems is the Universal Disk Format UDF format. Deleting files and directories of a CD R using packet writing technology does not recover the space occupied by these objects but are simply marked as being deleted. Similarly, changes to files cause new instances to be created instead of replacing the original files. Because of this, the available space on a medium using packet writing technology will slowly diminish every time its content is modified. For rewritable discs, however, this doesn t necessarily occur there exists technology that allows them to be used as truly removable storage media, fully and freely writable see Universal Disk Format UDF .

Interactive cinema tries to give the audience an active role in the showing of movies. The movie Kinoautomat by Czechoslovakia n director Raduz Cincera presented in the Czech Pavilion in Expo 67 Expo 67 in Montreal is considered to be the first cinema like interactive movie. The availability of computers for the display of interactive video has made it easier to create interactive movies. Another newer definition of interactive cinema is a video game which is a hybrid between participation and viewing, giving the player or viewer, as it were a strong amount of control in the characters decisions. A prominent pioneer of such a technique is the successful Hideo Kojima , whose gameplay often takes a priority to the storyline and long cutscenes. His game Policenauts , a point and click adventure game which has shootout sequences that make use of the lightgun peripheral on the Sega Saturn version of the game , has a subtitle which reads Interactive cinema on the cover art of all versions of said game, which is an early example of a prominent game developer labelling their game as such. A recent incarnation of an idea similar to this one is Fahrenheit video game Fahrenheit , censored version released in US and Canada as Indigo Prophecy a game dubbed as interactive cinema by its France based developer, Quantic Dream . 2007 saw the release of North America s first interactive motion picture, the Canadian produced Late Fragment . http www.cfccreates.com our projects view project.php?id 140 See also Cutscene Interactive art Interaction design Interactive movie Interactive video Laserdisc video game Participatory cinema References http www.valeriemorignat.net ecocinema.html An academic paper of Professor Valerie Morignat on Digital Interactive and Immersive Cinema External links http www.interactivemovies.org The Interactive Movies Archive http www.filmejogo.com.br jogar Brazilian interactive movie Category Interactive film he ko ... more details

Asemic writing has no verbal sense, though it may have clear textual sense. Through its formatting and structure, asemic writing may suggest a type of document and, thereby, suggest a meaning. The form of art is still writing, often calligraphic in form, and either depends on a reader s sense and knowledge of writing systems for it to make sense, or can be understood through aesthetic intuition.
