This week I decided to do Lev Manovich’s “Database as Symbolic Form”. Now this was a really long reading not to say the rest were short but it just felt that way. Now this one talked about the different types of databases i.e. hierarchical, network, relational, and object-oriented. Databases were limited to hardware but thanks to the internet databases are more prominent than ever. This is because the internet combined already existing databases with completely new databases that are websites. The point about a website never being complete reminded me of what Adrian said in a symposium a few weeks back where he states that while a book or a movie have a begging a middle and an end, a website just continuously evolves into a collection.
