Last Friday I presented my current ‘On The Fence’ project. Explaining my direction so far, there were a few takeaways from both the panel, Adrian and my peers that I noted. These points include: Considering the platform I present it on. Considering the relationship between the shots. Considering the use of subtitles by their position. […]
What To List With unforgiving creative block, I spent most of the weekend contemplating on my media thing. Too consumed by the vision of what to film, I realised I had created boundaries that constricted what was being asked of me, hindering and stopping the flow of how initiating ideas with creativity. Staring out the […]
From what I understand and know, I’m a visual learner. You could dictate to me a thousand times the process of something, but unless I see it being executed or put it to paper, the chances are I’ll forget. In the beginning of trying to understand why and how ontographs exist, I was very caught […]
Just hours ago it was revealed that Morrissey has had ‘cancerous tissue‘ removed four times, talking about his illness in a Spanish interview via the El Mundo. In it’s translation, it was the first time Morrissey had talked about cancer, regardless of previous reports of his diminishing health and issues reported in news. Unafraid of […]
It took me 20 minutes of searching and a friendly Tumblr user to get invited to Ello, a new social network with a growing buzz around it’s exclusive behaviour. While I have no idea on where it is heading, I can tell you that it has been growing at a substantial rate, with individuals selling […]
Photographer and filmmaker Matthew Frost has teamed up with actress Kirsten Dunst to create a short film commenting on today’s selfie-obsessed culture. Bleached in golden rays and dreamy suburbia, Kirsten Dunst plays herself, meeting two selfie-obsessed individuals that could be loosely called fans. However, they don’t show interest in her, ask her any questions, or really interact with her […]
As writers we do not write all the time, but our technical relationship to the writing space is always with us.’ Understanding writing as a technology is like understanding a historical culture; it only is relevant in a technical state of mind, each standardised and different in sentiments, growth and discipline. Sophisticated in the explanation […]
Craving the mid semester break so I can get back to drawing and meandering around the city. However, I won’t be able to look at my pencils and inks without thinking of them as technological tools. On an irrelevant mental note, I think I’ll rearrange my bedroom space and buy more plants. Here’s a little succulent […]
Cluttered with papers, pencils, odd objects and books, two rolls of 35mm film roll out from under a pile of coloured paper and Catalyst magazines. I’m reminded of two things. 1.) Return and thank my co-worker for lending me all three seasons of Game of Thrones during semester break, and 2.) Get the roll of […]
I look up to huddling bodies pausing on the border of the bulky yet minimal industrial door. ‘This is Network Media, yeah?’ A girl leans in and her lengthy hair drops past her shoulders. ‘Yes’ I say, continuing to reassure others who follow the same awkward and unspoken language, ‘Networked Media is in here, guys! Sit […]
