“TED attempts to present itself as fresh, cutting edge, and outside the box but often fails to deliver. It’s become the Urban Outfitters of the ideas world, finding “cool” concepts suitable for being packaged and sold to the masses, thereby extinguishing the “cool” in the process. Cutting-edge ideas not carrying the Apple-esque branding are difficult to find.”

Modern & Im/material Things
I'm Christina Dennaoui. Sometimes I wax philosophical on culture in the digital age. I have an interest in social media, cultural studies, electronic music, critical theory, middle eastern politics, ethnographic research and digital anthropology. I make beats. I drink bourbon. I'm a nice lady, so you should talk to me.
Find me on...
