it's the Cybrid way RT @l_e_s @j_l_r: as [...] academics tweeting, shifting (and conflicting) modalities offer rich possibilities. #flow10

[Tory Foster @toryfoster]

Q @l_e_s: horizontal/vertical, hierarchical/distributed -- when HYBRIDIZED they produce more powerful network effects. #flow10

[Tory Foster @toryfoster]

Now presenting on the Cylon datastream in the Twittertube #flow10 panel: Who controls the network?

[Tory Foster @toryfoster]

celebrate the prosthesis! (via Cat T.) RT @iheartfatapollo I'd like nothing more than to see a new "Hook Man Paradigm" emerge out of #flow10

[Tory Foster @toryfoster]

I prefer media that's half woman. RT @d_kompare: @toryfoster Surely the very idea of "Two and a Half Men" is inherently Cybrid. #flow10

[Tory Foster @toryfoster]

res ship is always nearby RT @Black_Squirrel Are we resuscitating QTV only to kill it over and over (like the death of the author)? #Flow10

[Tory Foster @toryfoster]

it's the Cybrid fight! RT @jmittell Day 2 #Flow10 starting w/ Quality TV & Pedagogy. I'm sufficiently caffeinated for the anticipated fight.

[Tory Foster @toryfoster]

A-Kackman: humans fetishize hierarchy, Cylons fetishize network. But that's its own kind of hierarchy. #flow10

[Tory Foster @toryfoster]

Q-Busse: humans already pushing toward Cylon thinking, why are Cylons turning back to human thinking?? #flow10

[Tory Foster @toryfoster]

Levitt: humans still in power in the academy. Cylons must foster solidarity/affinity with other marginalized groups. Cybrid Vigor! #flow10

[Tory Foster @toryfoster]

Bottomley: isn't "Quality TV" just another term for "Stuff Cylons Like"? Cylons, recognize and honor the Cybridity of media. #flow10

[Tory Foster @toryfoster]

Kohnen: TV = there are many copies. It's important to interrogate sameness and recognize the strategies of individualization within. #flow10

[Tory Foster @toryfoster]

Heinricy: we MUST teach Cylon youth the values of a hybrid society! #flow10

[Tory Foster @toryfoster]

Bury: says human scholarship relies on objective standards of "quality." all scholarship after the Hybrid Revolution will be Cylon. #flow10

[Tory Foster @toryfoster]

Kackman: ?ing cultural hierarchies that erase or devalue continuities w/ Cylon narrative systems that predate the Hybrid Revolution. #flow10

[Tory Foster @toryfoster]

At least one person on this panel is a Cylon. Guess who. #flow10

[Tory Foster @toryfoster]

Is media evolving toward Cybrid Vigor? I'm fact-finding for the revolution at #flow10 today. Now, the roundtable on Quality TV.

[Tory Foster @toryfoster]

You need the Cylons: we're now the only ones with access to communication and resurrection (or, for that matter, any) technologies.

[Tory Foster @toryfoster]

@Laura_Roslin Given where Democracy led your people, perhaps some Anarchy is in order. Leadership and collectivity don't have to be opposed.

[Tory Foster @toryfoster]

@boomerthe8 @Laura_Roslin I can speak to the effectiveness of this approach. Cylons really appreciate topless women.
