We’re into week five of ‘Old’s Cool’ and so far I’m enjoying it. There are a few different ideas that I’ve been introduced to that I likely never would have been if not for this studio.

I am particularly interested in one idea that I explored in project brief 2. That is that we can acknowledge that the digital age is bringing about increased accessibility and perhaps a sense of tangibility is lost, but there are some changes which aren’t as radical as we might assume from the outset. I guess what I’m trying to explore is that there are digital, “new media” practises and technologies which are influenced by or something of an evolution of previous technologies. Examples?

VHS home video –> DVD –> renting DVD’s when Netflix was a DVD mail system –> streaming Netflix
