Communication through Digital Media

During the past four years I have been watching, learning, experimenting, failing and succeeding in the world of film, web and media. I have been pushing to learn, adapt and improvise in the advancement of the digital age. But more importantly, I have been working to deconstruct and have begun to understand the power and complexity of what digital media will mean in the future.

One can tremble at the very thought of fully comprehending all of the components of digital media. The size, scope and speed of information can numb our senses yet energize and awaken those who understand it’s potential.

There is clearly a demand for us to understand the digital revolution and its place in our lives. How does the human condition and our complex psyche always find a way to physically manifest new ways to communicate and connect?

For humans it really is about connection, we have an instinctual need to connect with each other and an even deeper intrinsic need to tell stories. From drawing pictures on stone walls in dark caves to the great traveling orators that passed on culture and lore, to the literary masters that refined our history, to the auteur of the lens and moving picture, there has never been a more powerful or accessible story telling device than the internet.
