Bio

With a broad interest in a range of disciplines;

from interactive design to illustration and from

typography and information design to moving image,

experimental music, cognition and programming.


Since my graduation from London College of Communication

in 2003 (BA Graphic Media Design, Information Design

pathway) I have been active in London's design community

through a number of internships, freelance positions

and full time roles in a variety of design fields (print,

branding, web, interactive media).


The following 2 years, through the MA Networked Media course

in PZI, I would like to examine the various ways that new digital

media have altered the practice of visual communication but also

explore their more creative and artistic potential of the internet

and networked media.

Theoretical Sketchbook

I don't want to separate theory from practice. I initially thought of using a common space for keeping notes for my thematic projects and essays. But I decided to split the space for reasons of clearer presentation. That by no means that theory notes cannot lead to possible practical projects and vice versa.

Rough Outline for First Trimester's Essay

>>This first trimester compilation of readings focused on The Users of digital Media. We looked at the various modes of engaging with these new digital tools and environments.

/political conciousnes generated through digital media /How users become Authors /Amateur user/consumer being involved in the creation of new technological products/innovation

/Users Individuals as part of Virtual communities (where rape, or political debate is possible..) /Users assume that they can overcome the tyranny of geography through cyberspace /Users as: Digital Natives/Digital Immigrants



>>The Practice of Everyday Life (Michel De Certeau)

The effects of the break between a place appropriated as one's own place and the other (place, owner) : (1) A triumph of place over time, (2) panoptic practice - objects that can be observed, (3) power of knowledge - transforming uncertainties of history into readable spaces.

>>These key terms that seem to hold the same meaning:

Place/Space What is space What is place How time defines a place How time defines space Internet time/Swatch internet watches (1998)

>>Habermas:

Public sphere (does the internet serve as aplace with such charachteristics?)


>>Marc Augé coined the phrase "non-place" to refer to places of transience that do not hold enough significance to be regarded as "places". Examples of a non-place would be a motorway, a hotel room, an airport or a supermarket

/Is the internet a non-place? /Is the internet a space with non-places?
