Statement of Purpose
Your straightforward and real approach to the students on Wednesday makes
me determined to try as hard as possible to participate with this
multi-talented and diverse group of students. So the question is who am I
and where do I fit in this group? I consider myself an international person
who can contribute non-American views. My father lives in Kazakhstan while
my remaining family resides in Poland. I feel like a floater: one who does
not have ties to one particular place yet can adapt quickly to foreign
environments. I thrive on learning new languages and meeting different
people. New Media is a language that I want to learn and utilize on an
international level. Gender and sexuality have huge effects on this new
medium that is both global and rapidly progressing. I want to bring my
diverse traveling experiences into this class where I can incorporate
various ethnic views, music, and art. At the same time, I want to discuss
fresh ideas and opposing views.
This summer I was very fortunate to see many countries and taste a little
of each culture. Morocco, Spain, Poland, France, China, Thailand,
Singapore, and Great Britain were all amazing places to encounter. I
consider myself extremely lucky to have had the opportunity to travel the
world at such a young age. The title of this class struck me because it
relates to the questions and thoughts that intrigued me during my travels.
The different perceptions of women and men, the boundaries of sexuality that
I saw both restricted and exploited, and how multi media effects these
subjects. I want to discuss bold topics varying from the brutality of some
Japanese pornography to sex drugs and techno of Ibiza. New Media including
both digitized music and images have big roles in our future of how our
future perceives gender, sexuality, and culture.
My experience with theatre, production, video, and traveling will add
more flavors to this diverse class. I am ready to work my ass off to learn,
share and create with these students. Your reminder that this class will
require a lot of energy rung loud and clear and I am prepared to give 100%
of my drive and creativity.
