The generative precipice — where we stand

Evolving at speed In October 2022, just as we all started to test out generative AI, LLMs etc, and getting the first notions of a true shift in the world looming just on the horizon, I wrote a blog post about AI-generated art with the subtitle: “AI art is disruptive as hell. How can we…Read more The generative precipice — where we stand

Transmedia and a promise unfulfilled

The original promise of transmedia (...or, at least the promise as I understood it when I entered into the field many years ago) When Henry Jenkins was among the first to popularise the term “transmedia storytelling” in 2003, way before I had even a notion of the practice and philosophy, he and others were describing…Read more Transmedia and a promise unfulfilled

Revolutionising transmedia through AI

The world of storytelling is a constantly evolving landscape, as the name of this blogs eludes to. Creators seemingly won't stop seeking out innovative ways to captivate audiences and convey their tales. Nor should they!

Prepare for impact

The year 2021 is slowly drawing to a close and 2022 is just around the corner. A year that most probably will be severely impacted by the relentless COVID virus, but also a year that sees humanity starting to cope with a pandemic that, somehow, keeps popping back up again and again. In the world…Read more Prepare for impact

Transmedia and the Traditional Media

I just had the feeling I was back in, say, 2010 or 2012 or thereabouts. No, this has nothing to do with the current state of the world and any correlations to the Mayan calendar-scare (remember that one?) or any disaster movies that were blockbusters back then. Those were the days when I was writing…Read more Transmedia and the Traditional Media

The second steps in transmedia

Back in the day, transmedia had matured from the original phenomenon. To some extent, I then felt…Read more The second steps in transmedia

The Holy Grail of creating content is to reach an audience and have them engage with the story you're telling them.

To a certain extent you can observe the engagement…Read more Reaching out, engaging audiences – but to which extent?

Checklist for creators – are we really doing what we should be doing?

In my podcast series “Evolving Media” (yeah, my imagination didn’t reach further than just taking the name from this blog and using it for the podcast series as well… but hey, why change a winning concept?) I’m privileged to be able to chat with some of the brighter minds in the media sphere to talk…Read more Checklist for creators – are we really doing what we should be doing?

The art of listening

I started producing the Evolving Media podcast back in November last year, as I felt an urge to find a way to convey thoughts, ideas, principles, best practices and examples in an easily accessible way. Having spent quite a few years producing radio back in the 90s and early 00s a podcast felt like a…Read more The art of listening
