My school doesn’t know shit about data archival

Hello everyone. I come to my blog this time to complain and vent my anger.

I am to, in a couple days, pick up my Bachelor’s diploma in media arts. In order to be able to do that, I am obligated to leave digital documentation of my thesis work (my film, “The Messenger”) on a physical medium.

I used datamoshing a lot in my latest film. It was pretty hard to find good tutorials (especially text tutorials) on it, so I’ve decided to make both a video and a text tutorial myself.

(I didn’t submit on time ^^”) I chose a pretty naive media (crayons), for a pretty naive depiction - through this piece I wanted to promote the indieweb, the small web, the fediverse and other such movements and projects, portraying them quite idealistically… But this really is how I feel my average experience is like in the internet spaces I create in and contribute to - a bunch of places where I can communicate with and check on my critter friends.

A week with the HTC Desire

About a week ago, I remembered the existence of this little thing in my possession:

a very small old HTC smartphone. It has menu, home and back buttons, as well as a trackball.
it’s a HTC Desire.

It may be hard to tell without comparison, but it’s tiny. It’s got a height of 10cm. [Read more...]
