Through watching these videos and adopting a separate lens, I\u2019ve re-ascertained that humor is about framing and timing.<\/p><p>For example, watch this video at a normal speed.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"980\" height=\"552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/I-EIVlHvHRM?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en-US&autohide=2&wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div><p>It\u2019s thought-provoking, enticing, and beautiful.<\/p><p>Now try watching it at 2.0x speed.<\/p><p>Suddenly, that wonder and besplendor shifts, in my eyes, to something of bemusement. I\u2019m still absorbing the information and learning about how Refik Anadol is crafting these breathtaking AI art pieces, except at twice the speed.\u00a0 I\u2019m now relying on simultaneously reading the information\u2019s captions to catch anything I\u2019ve missed and interpreted the fast-paced garble that the video propels at me. A lot of the mood and atmosphere become distorted and comical through a faster lens. And this discovery was borne out of the desire to shave off a few minutes of watching a really intriguing video. That\u2019s not to say that I will not go watch it at normal speed, but it\u2019s interesting to completely unroot the serious nature of the video and transform it into something that makes me laugh.<\/p><p>It has led me to think about how timing impacts other elements within humor and how I might find humor in unexpected places. If I don\u2019t discover anything new, at least I get a chuckle every now and then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m thinking about little moments of joy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":47,"featured_media":4308,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[345],"tags":[286,339,381],"class_list":["post-4306","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-your-guess","tag-ai","tag-data","tag-humor","entry-card--landscape"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/academics.design.ncsu.edu\/yesand\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Unintentaionl-Humor-8.png","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p86O3z-17s","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/academics.design.ncsu.edu\/yesand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4306","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/academics.design.ncsu.edu\/yesand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/academics.design.ncsu.edu\/yesand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/academics.design.ncsu.edu\/yesand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/47"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/academics.design.ncsu.edu\/yesand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4306"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/academics.design.ncsu.edu\/yesand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4306\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4309,"href":"https:\/\/academics.design.ncsu.edu\/yesand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4306\/revisions\/4309"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/academics.design.ncsu.edu\/yesand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4308"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/academics.design.ncsu.edu\/yesand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4306"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/academics.design.ncsu.edu\/yesand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4306"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/academics.design.ncsu.edu\/yesand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4306"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
