A self portrait! It’s 2:32 pm and I feel so out of time. I should be at Berri-Uqam lining up for my metro card.

slow media enjoyment lol

ever since i started

playing videogames only on the weekends

along with soda and candy

and watching one episode of a show on each sunday

along with a pizza and a soda

i've started enjoying media a lot more than before

i am able to enjoy it more fully in the moment of it

and i am GENUINELY making good and lasting memories

the kinda memories sad adults get nostalgic over

like

taking your time to enjoy things

and not gorging yourself on media

makes a massive difference in enjoyment

the space between each time you do an activity

really adds to the enjoyment of the activity

your brain gets a chance to process the experience

and you get the time to look forward to and be excited for the next time

instead of anxiously trying to get things out of the way

in moments of pleasure without genuine enjoyment

taking things slow and just

allowing myself time to recover

between each time i do a ' fun ' thing

allows me to feel better when i do it

my highs are higher when i take breaks

and i get to experience the aftertaste between each time

i remember feeling so stressed and anxious before

when i was ' having fun ' frantically consuming media

and how muted the colours even when i wasn't anxious

i notice how vibrant and clear my enjoyment is now

i feel so much more and more clearly and there is more than one note

before the colours were muted and my enjoyment a one note tune

i will never get to experience every single media of this world

and i am going to miss out on A LOT of cool awesome amazing stuff

but what i do engage with and immerse myself with

i get to ACTUALLY enjoy fully and completely in the moment

i get to experience GENUINE enjoyment when experiencing media

and i get to make some amazing precious treasured beloved memories

i can not consume literally every single piece of media in the world

and honestly.........that is okay......and....

i am okay with missing out on stuff

i'd rather only experience a fraction of a fraction of a fraction

of all the amazing media in the world if i get to actually enjoy it

rather than miserably consume literally all the media in the world

"The worldwide networking through digital media is indeed setting a lot of things in motion. Monopolies of knowledge are disappearing, communication has become more difficult to regulate and to channel (well: exploitable through surveillance). Sharing and swapping (of knowledge, household appliances, flats and cars) is growing in significance over owning and keeping. Digital platforms such as WikiLeaks, LobbyPlag and VroniPlag accumulate decentralised knowledge and render the system’s fractures and failures visible and transparent. Books, pictures and music can be copied and disseminated endlessly. This does indeed set a lot of things in motion. What used to be solid, has become liquid. And that is interesting."

“Most displays are looking to play things faster. We’ve got movies at 60 frames per second, and gaming displays that run at 144 fps. But what about moving in the other direction? [Bryan Boyer] wanted to try this out, so he built the VSMP, or Very Slow Movie Player. It’s a neat device that plays back a movie at about 24 fph (frames per hour) on an e-ink display to demonstrate something that [Bryan] calls Slow Seeing, which, he says “helps you see yourself against the smear of time.” A traditional epic-length movie is now going to run you greater than 8,000 hours of viewing.“
