Networked Media // Week Two Reading It’s happened. Us humans can now be literate in more than one form of communication and expression of knowledge. 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 […]

This I can totally get behind and commit to. Okay, I might have already slipped up on its first term of ‘be[ing] […]
With the tremendous assistance, advice and even narration of Dr. Alan Duffy, myself and fellow studes, Bek and Seonaid, can present to you all reading this blog, AURORA EXPLAINED. Trying to communicate and simplify a complicated, scientific process in three minutes is difficult okay, and this being our first ever attempt at stop-motion video, made it all […]

But communicating complex ideas such as these, to a general or non-specialist audience has always been, and to extents still is, a complicated task. A bridge must be built between the ingenious and […]
Some polaroids taken at FOALS’ album listening party, at St Lulie’s Tavern, Abbotsford. What Went Down comes out 28th August – get it!
The first class of the new studio – It’s Not Rocket Surgery w/ Liam Ward – saw us watching a few examples and inspirations of the short videos we intend to make. Tea and Consent was the one in particular that I found amazing. It sent a message about a serious subject, but managed to remain […]
