• About the user: I'm not as much interested in new media as I am in how people cope with the fast moving technological developments around them. Some find a great usefulness and comfort in new media, while others complain about the loss of privacy, intimacy and sociability. Technology in my opinion challenges people to rethink their position towards old standards, it challenges them to deconstruct the concepts they thought were embedded in time and space. Thus, instead of blaming or praising new media, we should see new media as an introspective tool for governing our selves and our conception of the world. I believe that interactive installations and research on cultures within social networks are a way to explore and understand how we think and feel about technology. - I have previously graduated from my bachelor Communication on the construction of norms and values within Youtube communities and worked as a webmistress at Mediamatic, a foundation and lab specialized in creating relationships between the virtual and real by cutting-edge new media, research and design. Within my masters New Media I'm focusing on the conception of privacy throughout history in terms of how people govern the self within a neo-liberal western society (Foucault's governmentality).
