    DGST 395: Week 6 Summary

    by
    “The Soft Truth,” by Leigh Alexander, is a short story that emphasizes the intersectionality between our existence and technological algorithms. There is a controversy where Alexander discusses her other persona, whom I interpreted as the version of herself who is consumed by algorithms and has made life-changing mistakes because of her digital footprint. My theory...

    Week 4 Summary

    by
    Week four of this course has been my favorite week from everything we have learned so far. When I was first introduced to my subdomain and HTML, I needed clarification and didn’t think I could make anything worthwhile about my website. After seeing my classmates make fan pages for their favorite shows, hobbies, or people,...

    The term “metaverse” was something that I heard a couple of times before this course, but this week helped me expand my knowledge on the topic. While my table and I were discussing different software that fall into the category of metaverse, we stumbled upon an interesting conversation. Before discussing various parts of the metaverse,...

    Final Project!

    by
    Equality for the LGBTQ+ community has always been crucial to me because my brother came out as gay when I was super young. I always cared deeply about the community and advocated for them in any way I could, even when I was young, but having someone so close to me come out made the… Continue reading Final Project!

    Mashup Assignment: “I’m Ready for My Closeup”

    by
    For one of my mashup assignments, I did “I’m Ready for My Closeup.” The character that I chose was Mikasa from the anime “Attack on Titan,” because there is so much imagery that is incorporated into the show. It has so much meaning…and if you have seen the show you know exactly what I mean.… Continue reading Mashup Assignment: “I’m Ready for My Closeup”

    Weekly Summary #10

    by
    I loved week ten because we got to analyze movies for various reasons that did not focus on the acting aspect. When I watch movies, I usually think about the actors and how good/consistent their acting skills are throughout the film. My favorite assignment that I completed this week was the video essay. It was… Continue reading Weekly Summary #10

    The “Create a Commercial” assignment in the bank instructed someone to “create a promotional commercial for an event or product that is coming out in the future.” My futuristic product of choice was a hand sanitizer that eliminates COVID. It doesn’t really make sense…but it’s for the future..right? I used iMovie to edit my video… Continue reading Video Assignment: 3 Stars
