Media Archive

Media has been one of the longest-running parts of my work.

Archive note: This page contains older writing and personal material from different stages of my work. It is not the canonical source for my current professional profile, research program or ecosystem architecture.

Over the years I’ve written about music, film, technology, culture, the internet and the people shaping those worlds. I’ve also worked behind the camera, in production, and across different forms of communication.

This page brings some of that material together.

It is an archive rather than a current portfolio.

Technology & the internet
Culture & media
Production & camera work
Personal observations

Posts are preserved as written. Some are recent. Some are old. They should be read in that context.
