Fifty years ago, exercising the latest technology of the portable film-camera, anthropologist and filmmaker, Jean Rouch, and sociologist, Edgar Morin took to the streets of Paris to ask the city’s people, Are you Happy? in their short video Chronicle of a Summer (watch below). Now half a century later with the assistance of more advanced and globalised technology, […]
Networked Media // Week Four Reading At first, the idea of hypertext/hypermedia within network literacy seemed quite daunting and complicated to me. From reading this week’s assigned text however, I have realised that it is a far less complicated notion and is rather simple. So simple that I have unintentionally created a blog that highly […]
Only a few moments ago, Annie introduced me to a deadset amazing website TasteKid. This site recommends and helps you to discover new music, movies, TV shows, books, games and authors. It is bangin. It’s super easy to use too! Just punch in a band you like under the music section and a bunch of similar […]
Down right love emojis alright. Use them all the time, because the just get me. I am sure a lot of people agree with this. But sadly Media Factory/Wordpress/whoever runs this site, has no support system for them. Not even a dodgy version like those ones on Facebook. All the time I find myself blogging away, […]
Networked Media // Week Three Reading Directed to an Arts Law Australia website for this week’s reading, it was all about copyright, moral rights and Creative Commons. All of the information provided about these areas of legality definitely helped myself in understanding what is and isn’t appropriate or even legal to post on this blog […]

I’ll explain (note: as Adrian Miles explained to me via this weeks reading). You might not know it, but people of the world were once print literate. source: gifrific It’s okay […]
Towards the start of last year, I came across the Canadian duo Majical Cloudz. Comprising of singer-songwriter Devon Welsh and electronic music producer Matthew Otto, I fell in love with their beautifully orchestrated electro/art-pop basically instantaneously. Majical Cloudz were on repeat for days, no – weeks. Their hypnotic sound of deep, soundscape-like synth pop affixed with Welsh’s searing […]
Networked Media // Week One Reading Don’t write on your blog? That’s a paddlin’. Since the first day of uni, and throughout the entire course that was Media 1, myself and fellow students were meticulously encouraged -albeit forced- to blog. It was inescapable. The blogging raged on, and found its way into our bloodstreams and […]
Alrighty Networked Media, getting into the thick of it by basically discussing our fave dog instagrams and facebook memes. Already amazing. Legitimately learned of some new internet hits I have to check out. Of course there is more to this class though. This first class of ‘NetMed’ saw us starting up WordPress blogs for the […]
