Starting my Masters Course - 17/07/2024

For a long time I've been standing at a crossroads. Many roads leading different ways all shrouded in mist and unknown qualities. Standing at such a precipice sets my mind racing. Where am i going? What will it bring? Does it matter? Should i care? It is only recently ive found peace with the unknown. I look at all the crossroads and i truly don't care where they lead anymore. Because as long as i am doing the things i enjoy doing. As long as i love and help the people around me. It doesnt really matter. When i decided to throw myself into Digital Culture this past year i realized i was not only happy with the current. I was interested. I was good at it. I am so excited to take part in this space. To engage with the people in this space. To cultivate and grow the space. To create and analyse and parse. No matter what the new road brings. It will be interesting.

My thoughts about the New Media Writing Prize

What Remains? was my first ever digital artwork, and my bachelors project at that, and to have it shortlisted among the many wonderful works across the globe was an honour and a half. It doesn’t feel real. Its so distant. And though I am eternally grateful to the judges who chose to shortlist me, the biggest honour was seeing how proud my teachers became on my behalf. Alinta Krauth who was my supervisor on the project and Jason Nelson who helped and supported me along the way.
It is similar to music in a way. I have played many concerts throughout the years, and its always great to hear from the people who liked it, but nothing ever compares to when a musician you respect and look up to comes over and nods in agreement and compliments you. It’s a special type of bubbly fuzziness.
So, thank you to the wonderful people at the New Media Writing Prize! Huzzah!
