Oh look, a year old blog post of mine has be re-published somewhere.
To be fair, I don't have a specific problem as long as there's reasonable attribution (which there isn't, in this case). I don't hoard ideas, generally. But I'd like at least a link and my real name if you're going to use my material to draw attention to your work.
Of course, this got me thinking about my own piratical actions. I'll probably blog about that later on today.
What happens when you smash a mirror?
If you do it right, you end up with a large number of irregular fragments on the floor, each one catching different elements of the same image.
The broken gentleman is an attempt to do that with perceptions.
Think of it as a metaphor for social media. All of that information, all of those perspectives, all of them with an equal (potential) value. With all of those minds and opinions, you end up with a wise, if conflicted organism. You get a broken gentleman, who manages to exemplify all ideals, sporadically and without cohesion.
The broken gentleman is a look at media in a time where strategy requires fractured, competing perspectives to be kept in balance.
The broken gentleman is / is written by Jonathan Crowley.
