17/07/13- Digital Decay

Using obsolete and deteriorated technology I explore the themes of mortality, decay and humanity’s ever increasing reliance on technology. My videos present sensory overloads which represent the state of modern society, constantly overloaded with imagery, information and products that instantly become out of date and irrelevant. 

My work is a response to the dystopia of today and tomorrow.

-Henry Driver

I think it would be interesting to curate an exhibition about how we express emotion through digital means but even now I think, what's next? What's post-digital when the future is closer and closer to now? Anything with a 'futuristic' aesthetic is retro or could quite possibly already be made today- what is post digital? post-future?

16/07/13- Street Style

It's been a while since I've been interested in street style. It was one of the first things that got me looking at blogs and feeling inspired but after a while became a bit depressing when the people being snapped were wearing the same designer pieces and looking like models using a street as their runway. Some of it looked contrived and like the socialites in front of the lens got up and decided to wear whatever they thought would catch a street photographer's eye. Part of the appeal of street style was that it was for everyone. It was democratic and showed stylish grandmas in vintage pearls next to 13 year-old girls in full lolita costumes and it showed a full spectrum of 'style' rather than fashion.

This post isn't really going anywhere but here's some street style that caught my eye recently for being very do-able and inspiring:

I need to knit myself a long dress with a split mmm

Love that fringed vest with all the floaty layers

blue/green plaid, brown shoes and fringed jacket yeeeeah

Love the longer length of the skirt with shoes and socks

Need to wear my coloured socks more!!!
