Willkommen Fremder (Introduction)

by tomtenney on February 10, 2010

Hey everybody.  So apparently these blogs are going to be our online home base as we navigate the waters of the Media Studies graduate program.  Excellent. I’m going to start with an introduction.  Actually, I’m going to start with the same introduction I posted on Blackboard.  What’s the sense in reinventing the wheel every time, right?  Honestly, nothing has really changed since then, and since I’m a big fan of remix, why don’t I just remix that sucker right into this new post.   Here it is, with apologies for redundancy:

Hi everyone.  My name is Tom Tenney and this is my fourth semester here at The New School.  I’m in the combined Bachelors/Masters program for Media Studies, and I work full time as a digital producer for VH1.  My background is pretty evenly split between digitial media and the performing arts world (I have worked as a performer, director and producer) and one of my goals here at the New School is to find a meaningful synthesis between the two.  I’m also in the midst of starting a nonprofit film collective in Brooklyn and producing a Remix Festival in DUMBO in the spring. So yeah… it’s a lot.   I’m really looking forward to this class and to working with you all.  :)

To conclude, I will include a few pictures of myself so you can find me and say hello on Monday nights if you’re so inclined:

This is more or less what I look like now, but with different glasses

Here's what I looked like in 2005, with no glasses or facial hair
