Rich Kids

Awesome! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kate_Rich Love a bit of progressive media in the morning. Interesting stories like this make me see the point in the things we’re doing as part of the coursework. Which brings me back to IM1. We have changed our topic ‘umbrella’ from ‘Con[...]

Shameless Whinge.

So, it’s been a while since I’ve had a good old fashioned piss ‘n moan session on the old blog, so i thought I would air some recent realisations I have been having regarding the Korsakow phenomenon (or, lack thereof). After trawling once again through the vast, cavernous web-doodl[...]

Conceptualising

I feel like I’m cheating on this blog with my other one, because it’s more fun. http://quietminute.tumblr.com/ Still working on the concept for our K-Film, which is slightly concerning but still do-able. We started with the idea of four seasons, then realised we needed a more suitable &#[...]

Apple Law

Stumbled upon an interesting tidbit in the news recently, pertaining to Apple’s recent string of legal suits against several large rival companies. I am traditionally an Apple skeptic – being one of the last people in the Western world to purchase an iPhone (which I promptly broke and ne[...]

I seemed to be brimming with ideas and discoveries then, whereas now I just find myself forgetting about it entirely for days on end. However! This is a little movie I made following[...]

Splish Splash, I was takin’ a Barthes.

Finally, after a week or so of procrastinating, I have gotten around to reading that intimidating body of text by Roland Barthes. Admittedly, I also did a lot of this: ..as I slowly laboured through what was possibly the driest reading material of my adult life. But hey – it’s done now! [...]

02 Lecture and Reading: A New Path to Knowledge

It appears that, due to work, I will not be able to attend many of the lectures. Need to pay rent, and the only way I could clear up my Monday session would be to work on Thursday night, which so happens to be the time-slot for my IM1 tutorial. Good one, Steph.  So, (excuse [...][...]

At a Glance.

Some stills I took in preparation for the upcoming K-Film, Week One installment. I was experimenting with capturing my space within the context of reflection, nostalgia, etc. Captions, images, everything is quite experimental. I’m still not 100% sure why we are doing this. [...]

CODING IS MY BITCH.

After weeks of procrastinating over this HTML essay, God intervened this morning when he flooded the store where I worked. After being advised to stay home by my manager, and after completing several victory laps of my house, I settled in to start designing the Hypertext Essay layout (which we appar[...]
