‘The dead internet theory’ has gained momentum over the last few years and suggests that the internet has crossed the threshold from ‘real’ online human interaction to ‘fake’ interactions. The internet and especially social media once opened doors for expression, interaction, inspiration and openness in a way that just wasn’t possible before, with sites like…

I am thinking that the poem can flick between first and second person, with the ‘I’ being the individual self and the ‘you’ being a global self made up of all the mechanisms of control, an entity that capitalises on all that lives, a machine that only functions based on taking advantage of each self.…

The ‘Large Hadron Collider’ is the most powerful accelerator in the world, boosting particles such as protons at a speed nearly as fast as the speed of light, forcing collisions between protons to (very briefly) create ‘massive particles’, some of which existed in the early days of the universe. The amount of energy generated in…

Haptic feedback loop ….. hadron spin a buzzing in the brain an unceasing quiet that bursts drums and breaks bones Forwards march for more and more and more [use the proliferation ] The feedback loop of sensory input to senseless output Mirrored in city’s like London – time equating to money and success, which are…

In light of the research I have been doing, my ideas have started to gain some momentum. I am interested in transferring the concept of a human haptic feedback loop into a sound piece that can lay a backdrop to a poem/spoken word recording. I have produced some rough experiments using my Behringer Neutron, predominantly…

As I am continuing to research, I am finding it fascinating how principles of technology and technology’s integration into our lives has seemingly direct parallels with how we function as humans. I guess this isn’t that surprising considering we built technology through our own lens, and having systems and hardware that reflects our ‘human operating…

What arose for me when researching the pre-colonial African concept of time was the idea that although we live and operate within a linear framework of time, technology and cyberspace have began to conjure an alternative sense of time. The internet fosters what Andrew Gallix refers to as ‘non-time’, a concept that builds off of…

In the western world everything functions around time, and specifically how we measure it. Minutes, hours, days, weeks dictate our livelihoods, our function revolving around the constraints of the 24 hour clock. It is then easy to assume that it has always been like this and the 24 hour day applies to every culture, but…

For this prototype portfolio unit, my plan is to create a prelude to the album and video that I am intending to produce for my final major project. The main concept revolves around the notion of the self in the age of information overload and accelerated attention spans, in a world dominated by technology. I…
