Lys Blogpost
Lysian Schenk s13996908 Als ik iets zeker heb geleerd de afgelopen werken, is het dat media tegenwoordig overal zit en we het allemaal niet meer door hebben. In de lectuures van Mark Deuze is dit meerder malen naar voren gekomen en heeft mij zeker geprikkeld. Van jongs af aan ben ik al bezig met het …
Love for Film
When I reflect upon my relationship with media, I find that film is the form I enjoy the most. I appreciate film as a medium, both in terms of consumption and creation. The main reason I enjoy it so much is because it challenges me to be creative and come up with ways to communicate …
Media als Zuurstof
De mens bestaat al een hele tijd, als we over de moderne mens praten (Australopithecus anamensis) kunnen we ervan uitgaan dat wij al vier miljoen jaar over de aardbol slenteren. Het was een stuk moeilijker om als mens zijnde te overleven dan nu, toch zijn dezelfde dingen nog steeds van cruciaal belang om goed te …
The miracle that is called media
It’s currently 18:19 as I’m writing this blogpost. My mother just came home from work and my dog is laying here by my side. It’s a cold Thursday evening so I have made myself a nice, and very warm, cup of tea. A good cup of Chai tea never fails to brighten my day! I’m …

The first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is to check my phone, dozens and hundreds unread messages flooding in, comments and DMs, notification from various Apps, replying to all, checking all, I lay in bed on my back and stare at the ceiling, thinking, what is life? and why my …
Why I <3 My Media
I’m very emotionally unavailable and I rarely let anyone in, but somehow, my phone found a way to do that. When I think about it, my phone has access to all my data and photos. Basically, everything that I would never let someone see, read, or hear. It has access to recordings of my catastrophic …
Media youth
If you are going to ask me if I love media, honestly I don’t know how to answer that. Media and I are in a complicated relationship. The first time I met media was a long time ago which I don’t even remember clearly, however, I do know that i was fascinated by it. A …
