The most interesting passage in this article for me was the following: “One has to constantly convert information in order to work with it across different platforms and softwares and on the way it is reformatted, translated, compressed or sometimes even blown up, it is enhanced or diminished: it changes.” I have always been fascinated […]

Reading through Hitos conversation and thought process, I agree with the things he bring up on. I agree that the platform for art is more easily accessible to almost anyone with access to the internet. That a lot of “artists” are now freelancers, and are a “mob”. A class which does not want to choose […]

After reading this article, the passage that i found more interesting was the following: “One of the biggest misunderstandings about digital information is that it is replicated identically, without loss or transformation.

The first point of intrigue was within a question posed by Rourke. In the title of your collection of essays, […]

In the reading The Great Wave, James Bridles ” attempt to “write” critically about the network in the vernacular of the network itself’, in a social-media environment with its language of reblogs, likes and comments.” really attracted my interest. Especially due to fact, that in the workplace I work with social media and some brands even tried […]
