Hello World!

It is a wonderfully rich world we live in. Fascinating, really. There are countless forms of human expression to explore. Via this blog, I will do precisely that... I will explore diverse cultural and sub-cultural groups and the manner in which they use the modern tools available to express themselves, to create meaningful content, to share their ideas within a community, and to thus contribute to the evolution of culture.

Culture is fluid, always changing, always evolving. Digital technology has facilitated (and has sped up!) this evolution, creating uniquely creative forms of human expression, blurring the lines of cultural identity.

So what fascinates me the most is the way various human expressions come together and are remixed to form new and unique experiences. If we look at how expressions are shared, we can state that meaning is constructed by an individual (or a group of individuals), transmitted via a channel, and then decoded by an audience. But with the shift from a one-to-many model of communication to a many-to-many model, it doesn’t end there anymore. The initial message, once decoded by an end user, is in turn modified, reconstructed, remixed, and again retransmitted to other end users, who in turn start the process over again.

This is what I wish to share with you...my fascination with the evolutionary fusion of diverse expressions into unique experiences.
