My Writing
This is a selection of articles that I’ve written over the past five years, about the arts in general, about digital culture and about art in particular. I’ll be adding to it as I dig down into my archive. Hope you enjoy.
The Rise of the Short Form. All about short movies, clip mania and art.
Connectivity as Entertainment , one of my Convergence Culture columns.
Art and Blogs. Blogging, its contribution to art practice and the imperfections of brands online.
Digital Aesthetics. I got some points wrong in this Tom Moody later told me.
TV, web, ghetto. I learned the phrase “the abandominium” writing this article. MixCast are one of my favourite channels.
Classifieds as Art. This is one of the most favourite articles I’ve written. Enjoyed writing it, back in May 2007, enjoy reading it now.
Fan Culture. Also from May 2007. Got to talk with Henry Jenkins for this one.
Reading and the web. After a couple of days wondering how the web affects our love of literature.
Web, story, action. Trying to work out how TV affects drama.
Games and narrative. Same subject though this time looking at games.
Memory. On what computers are doing to how we think and to how we use art, a favourite subject.
On auction culture. What are auctions doing to us?
Mixed Realities. A look at the development of different realities.
Live performance web. On how doing things live is taking over watching what is recorded.
Last Brand Standing. I’m a brand sceptic. I think it is a term we use when we run out of gas.
Moslem Women Bloggers. I wanted to write something sympathetic to the voices that are out there on this issue.
