The first time I read about ds106 was on my birthday. Isn’t that meaningful (: It was also the day or at least near to the day where the regular students started the course. I looked around on the ds106 pages and found one, that instructed the regular students. I …
David! … Please. I can’t feel anymore what I used to feel. All the greatness to be an important part of something valuable. I can not see I’m doing good things while telling people that creativity is something bad. I’ve listened to the plan to spread this as a lie to …
I’ve ever invented stories, but rarely have worked them out to some extension. Funny is that I’ve invented most of my stories in English as homework of my English courses, which mostly have been short stories. Some teachers found them weird some interesting, all found them somehow confusing.
The story for …
Julie has attended a forbidden party and has just realized that she is now wanted by the police. A police officer detects her and she runs away.
For this little audio story I altered the ds106 assignment “911, What’s Your Emergency?” in the way that a police officer calls …

Thasus’ government has high-flown intentions concerning the growth of their powerful appearance, but recently has to fight with the fact that people refuse to work in professions like information technology or unskilled work. They rather …
The following series of animated gifs is part of my final project, where I am telling a story about a woman who was an integrated part of her country’s society but then becomes part of a world which opposes her government.
The gifs show both, the character and the plot …
“Everything is a Mashup” (by Kirby Ferguson) was one of the statements I’ve thought a lot about while exploring the concepts of remix and mashup. In this series it is not just about songs and visual media but also about different areas like the Apple computer. Apple took for example the idea …
I really needed the two weeks to find out about mashup and remix. I actually started the ds106 assignments before I’ve understood the concepts of mashup and remix. What I can tell you from heart you can hear in the following audio. I rather had talked about this to a friend, …
This is meant to be a remix of one of Jonathan Worth’s photographs of Cory Doctorow. I learned from Jonathan’s project where he invites people to remix his images from Cory, because I attend the open online community ds106, where theidea is listed in the assignment bank.
I also …
When I saw something about a Youtube Duet I asked myself what the last song is I can remember I listened to, because for more then 15 years I haven’t listen much to popular music but rather classical music.
Finally I did remember that there was a young woman who sang about her …
A mashup from the trailers of the trilogy “The three colors Blue White Red”.
This trilogy is meant to be about love and loss, which I can agree with. Still, it is also a lot about watching people’s privacy and coming nearer to some, maybe unpleasant, truth. This I tried …

A remix from a remix.
When I tried the remix machine on ds106 I got the combination of Adapt an artist’s work [remixed]: Dr Suess It. As recommended I looked for examples of the original assignment in order to Dr. Seuss this and found one that has already been remixed. It is …
Click the audio for the story.
For this assignment “Storytelling with Recycled Media” you were obliged to take media from a page on minus.com, where ds106 students earlyer have uploaded media, for which they themselves have no use. Unfortunately there’s a lack of videos and I’ve missed the videos I’ve …
Where to send Alan Levin on vacation? A difficult question when you hardly know someone. From his photos I know he already has been to many places anyway. Maybe I should send him to a kind of inner journey, I imagined.
Sometimes when I were on vacation I just thought …
Two weeks ago must be years ago, at least it feels like this after intensivley producing video for 2 weeks. Although I’ve already taken a course about producing video, it was all so new with the ds106 assignments I’ve chosen. I already knew about making clips and editing them to something, …
When I was at art university and this way watched the world of art for some while, I expolored that artists may call themselves free and liberal, but they are not. I studied the Fine Arts and my professors very much critizised the ideas of their students and by this …
Some time ago I did an audio assignment, for which I recorded foley sound for a movie clip. I uploaded this to a group at Soundcloud and wondered about what will become out of this. I now know. For the assignment “Charlie Chaplin’s Foley Artist” you now …
I once designed three photo cards and sent them to a friend, because I thought he might be interested to know something about my past. He has never answered to this offer to deepen the relationship. This is also past now.
Yesterday, while thinking about what else video I can produce …
I like watching fantastical movies mainly for the imagination they show. What I’ve never understood, why trolls? And why do they always fall on down with a big thud? See here Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone (2001) and Lord of the Rings – The Fellowship of the Ring (2001). I …
Why turning parts of a modern movie into a silent movie? I wondered while reading about this ds106 video assignment. I had no idea but was just intrigued by the idea to do so.
I did some research on how to change a movie into a silent film and found …
I’ve started out learning about video production 4 years ago, when I did a two month course on it. The course was specialized on making video for the internet and included working with a video camera, lighting, learn to speak clearly, green screen, presenting videos in the internet and marketing and law, in …
For this week pre-production assignment I’ve chosen the video assignments
Play by Play, where you comment a real life event (also playing a video game) and
Return to the Silent Era, which means to display parts of a modern movie as if it is an old silent movie.
For both …
The ambiguity of categorisation.
While I’ve worked through the ds106 open documents list of categories on Youtube videos, I remembered that there are also categories designed by Youtube.
I’ve displayed both lists at the end of this document.
The differences are a more general approach in naming the categories by Youtube, whereas …
A dailycreate: Recreate a movie scene using shadow puppets as characters.
This video is made of a light, two shadow puppets and the original dialogue of the scene. The scene itself is the dance of Elisabeth and Darcey from ‘Pride and Prejudice’ (2005). In addition I created a mask and combined …
