And, I'm done.

Journal Entry: Mon Dec 12, 2011, 8:20 PM


For those of you who are still watching this account...

My dissertation has been approved. Four years ago I began this project. The past two years have been two intense years of analysis and writing (with a wedding in there somewhere). Meanwhile, deviantART and all of the people whom I met continued to grow and change and come up with new interesting things for me to check out.

My resolutions for 2012:

1) Figure out the best way to share my dissertation here on deviantART
2) See what I've missed with all of you

I'll be posting some more thoughts about (1) in the next few weeks. I may need some advice...

Dan Perkel
United States
I am a graduate student at University of California at Berkeley’s School of Information. I am doing a research project on how people incorporate the web into their art and media-making activities.

A great deal of my research involves hanging out online, particularly on here on deviantART where there a lot of people doing a lot of different kinds of work. My hopes are to better understand some of the main issues that are involved when artists put their work online and get involved in different activities.

My first journal post provides more of a general introduction. But you can learn more by checking out all of my journals.

Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark.
And a large group of professionals built the Titanic.

Mr. Perkel! I hope you have been well. Something compelled me to stop by and say hi. I hope your dissertation is looking awesome too. :giggle:

That was nice of you! Something compelled me to log in today for the first time in a while. The dissertation is nearing final shape. Stay tuned! (Though I can understand if you tune out... it's been a while)
