Return of blogging!
During the past summer, I have begun a long time coming digital/social media detox. I bought a second hand “dumbphone” for 10 euros from tori and have experimented on when do I need a more technically competent phone (for example taking good quality fitting pictures, logging in through double step verification apps are stuff that just work better on a smart phone) and when I am simply grasping at the dopamin kick of *~endless content~*. I have been collecting physical copies of movies and series since preteens, and now have began to do the same with music.

I cut off ramblings of how art and capitalistically insentivised algorithm go together like toothpaste and orange juice. The rambling kinda ties in to my point here, but I shall skip right to it; I want to give more conscious time and appreciation to things I like. And while that means being more mindful of what I watch or listen to, it also means giving more time for documenting what I do! I too have the very human want to share and document stuff important for me. And I would like to do it in a way that serves me best, and not some spooky unseen shareholders of META.
So! In addition to my portfolio hosted here, I will start a less formal blog where I can dump works in process, works I have finished (gasp!), behind the scenes stuff, maybe thrift finds, maybe inspiring shows/films I’ve seen.. Not sure yet how curated I want this space to be! Going to be some learning, but hey, nobody is probably going to read this stuff for a while hehe. I also want to finally understand what an RSS feed is.
