I have joined the Memfest community becasue i am interested in

I have been here from the very beginning. I am interested in socially responsive communication, visual communication, photography, visual sociology, media activism, street art, open source cultures.

Iam interested in how critical social theory can illuminate the complex processes of production, distribution and reception of public (visual) communication in order to generate public (visual) communication as a responsible social, political, economic and cultural practice.

I am particularly interested in relations between concepts of response-ability and communication effectiveness, and the social construction of design and other forms of pubic communication as profession, practice and praxis within academia, the market environments and non-institutionalised communities.
