fusionthroughresonance is the blog of Saskia, anthropologist researching the world of audiovisual culture. Her fieldwork is based in Barcelona, her studies at the Australian National University.
The research focuses on the social significance of imagination and creativity, as the rapid advancements of information and communication technologies and new media in late capitalist societies have noticeably increased the amount and speed of various forms of information encountered in daily life.
