Door een toevallige Internet dwaling kwam ik een serie video-interviews tegen van experts over hoe technologie in de culturele sector ingezet kan worden. Het lijken video’s die zijn gemaakt voor een bepaals seminar door gebruiker genaamd Observatorium.

While mobile has glimmered my mind for years, it never really had my focal attention. I guess since the dynamics were less attractive to me; mostly because of the Telecom-attitude: we know what is good for you. Lately I’m more and more convinced about mobile as having a future.

YouTube is a true marvel of an alternative storytelling mechanism. You start with one video and you yourself determine how the plot continues. I’ve pasted a storyline of myself:
Sunglass Catch
“Catching Glasses” Explanation
Gondry Shoes
