Academic Thesis

It all started when...

My culminating work at the Media, Culture, and Communications program at NYU synthesized my interests in connected devices, web protocols, and how people utilized tech in their every day lives. Titled Web 3.0: Control Societies In Machine-To-Machine Communication I historically analyzed transitionary periods in technological protocols to posit what the every day user might value the most out of emerging technology.

By looking at technological shifts through the frame Deleuze and Guattari's theory of the rhizomatic structure and control societies we begin to see a pattern of how decentralized structures become autonomous and self governing. These ideas of self governance, efficiency, and security laid the groundwork for the infrastructure of the internet and should be imbued within the next iteration with connected devices.
