Music Mix – A Glance Into The Anime World
Welcome to my music mix A Glance Into The Anime World. We will explore the fascinating anime realm through various theme songs and soundtracks. Eventually we will see how music played an indelible role in anime in forming a complete effect for the audience. We will also see how anime songs challenged the authority of “high arts”. For those who are not familiar with this field, my music mix abides by three rules which will help you gradually adapt to the context: Most songs are partly sung in English. There are songs sung in German, and songs of which the lyrics …

The relation between what we see and what we know is never settled. —–John Berger Ways of Seeing In my technology literacy narrative, I discussed how technology has influenced and challenged our ways of seeing, our ways of communication, and thus our ways of life. The different “rhetorical situations” between conventional media and new media prompted me to …
Combophoto – The Pattern of Nature.
My Combophoto depicts a peacock displaying its fine tail feathers, while the right half of the image was complemented by a dandelion. During the making process, I found it slightly challenging to adjust the tones of the two images in order to make the…
