On my MA seminar debate last week at Goldsmiths we discussed the ‘author function’ in relation to value-creation in the economic context, interrogating the notions of originality and distinctiveness posited by Foucault in his essay “What Is an Author?’. Read the rest of this entry »

When Dusted met Charlotte

Charlotte, NC

Earlier this week, I was invited along to my local Jelly session show as their special podcast guest to chat about Dusted’s plans to branch out into the United States.

Top-level decision made on domain names

‘Branding’ New Designer at Dusted
