Am i a celebrity,
and why am i doing a podcast?
2 questions asked by a student in communications from L’Université de Montréal who need these answers for his work. Ici ma chance d’enfin servir la science.
1. i dont think i am a celebrity. Sign of being a celebrity in Quebec would be to have my face on the cover of some Quebecor magazine, something which might never happen. Else would be to have people recognizing me on the streets, something that is not happening (unless you guys are all faking like you dont know me or are too shy to say hi). I am someone who’s upfront with technological trends, who plays with web technologies and use them as a medium (see me as an artist using the web as a medium, like a brush would be to a painter). I do something new and different, and i think i’m a good communicator too, at least people seem to like what i am writing over here, as they like to listen to me talking. I could be a dj too. What’s a celebrity?
2. I use these tools – blog, video blog, photo blog, and audio blog (podcasting) – as tools to express myself, toys to play and create something with, as an artist and communicator. F**k you if you laugh at me as you read this.
More about why i do a podcast here, and 10 reasons why i am blogging (français).
i want a bill with my face on it damn you. now that’s celebrity.
Eh, si un jour je te rencontre dans la rue, je vais te dire salut! Promis! Comme ça, tu vas pouvoir dire que tu es une vedette! 😉
Merci pour les réponses. C’est intéressant de voir que tu considères “jouer” avec la technologie de façon créative. Tes réponses m’on inspiré et m’ont permis d’avancer un peu. Tu viens de sauver un pauvre étudiant en perdition.
Promis aussi : si je te croise dans la rue, je te demande un autographe ! (Et je te paies un verre aussi pour te remercier.)
