I have come across this video yesterday and looked at it several times. I was astonished by the directness of this trader who told the whole world through the BBC that he dreams every night about a global economic crisis, because this situation will allow him to make big profits.
I had a conversation about it with Vida and she said that the trader did this on purpose, launching this controver…

On the 24th of August in the PiNA e-Cafe in Koper we opened the fourth exhibition MEMEFEST: DEMONSTRATING RELEVANCE:RESPONSE-ABLITIY. The exhibition was opened during one of the most known events "REVIVING THE STREET", which the last 12 years brings to life one of the most quiet streets of Koper.

The housing titanic – The big ship in communicating to influence the public stigma of affordable housing.
Australia has an ingrained belief that owning a home is essential to their wellbeing, stability and being a responsibility citizen in our society. This is mainly due to the fact that it has been possible in the past. Yet with our changing world this expectation is fading fast. In its wake …

Today, while enjoying my regular reading routine, I read a short tweet about Anonymous Bosnia.
Being from a very adjacent (once upon a time the same) country, it grabbed my interest instantly. If you have heard of Bosnia before, that was probably due to the fact that it was heavily devastated by war during the 90′s and the problems they are facing now – as a country that doesn’t really functio…

Unfortunately the news is not that fresh, but is still very relevant!
As some of you might know, we were working on the publication covering Friendly competition 2010-11. We got it from the printer just a day before our travel to Nijmegen where we organized Memefest Workshop. We know it was almost two months ago, but - with a kind of summer vibe and a lot of other things to solve– we are finall…

The success of any learning I believe takes roots with a commitment to the cause and although the concept of “Socially Responsive Communication” may be a novice concept in this age and time it is certainly not unapproachable in the Gulf Region and South East Asia. In many ways it has always been part of the social fabric and daily practice. We just need to be reminded. Perhaps this is one reason …

It took several years of collaborative research to understand why there is this one communication culture and approach that is used in practice and that is at hand whenever »communication problems » need to be solved in the public sphere. With there is I mean this all encompassing presence of marketing based communication. It is naturalized, meaning, it has penetrated the logic of communication t…

I'm networking so much lately that my emotional brain is growing
disproportionately, taking over the spoken language neurotic (sic) areas.
I went to the kitchen today, where my housemate P. was making a peanut butter/cucumber sandwich.
'Food!', I uttered.
Then immediately 'Foooood!' again, like I had awaken, at last, to the fact that I also needed to chew on something.
So I walked to th…

Vou tentar condensar pela primeira vez tudo o que tem acontecido por aqui em poucas palavras. Fato: Memefest Brasil encontra Memefest internacional. Participantes, curadores e organizadores, todos juntos por algo em torno de 10 dias num festival em Nijmegen, Holanda. Lá, encontramos participantes do International Media Training - que fariam a cobertura do festival Oddstream [ http://www.oddstream…

Esta es la historia de un cani (o un choni, o un poligonero, ya saben…) que, en su empeño por deshacerse de la hipoteca, deberá recorrer el Reino de Españistán para enfretarse con todos y cada uno de los malandrines, meapilas y soplagaitasque lo pueblan, dando lugar a un relato plagado de tópicos, tacos y faltas de ortografía, con bien de lobbies, parados, mileuristas, pensionistas, funcionarios,…
