Consumption. Identity. Politics.

I am what I consume. I consume what I like and what I like is on the Internet. Television, radio and newspapers can be found on the web and their digital forms offer multiple opportunities of non-traditional interaction. I can leave comments, chat instantly with a DJ, and check or suggest related links. This direct interaction with the media is part of a generative process, I am part of the media and I create something new every time I get involved in the process.
I think that my media habits reflect somehow my identity and my point of view about politics. I believe in transparency and participation, which are the two main characteristics of the Internet revolution. I also firmly believe that discussing and sharing ideas are core points of generative interaction, no matter if among people, citizens or web users.
