writings

A major part of my  research and creative practice is blogging.  I look at new ideas, theory, popular culture, video and films from others’ work and my practice. Some of my blog posts turned into longer articles. These are not peer-reviewed articles, but have been useful to advance my practice. Some people have approached me to publish these articles in publications as noted below.
