The Revolution Will Be Performed. Cameras and Mass Protests in the Perspective of Contemporary Art Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This article offers an analysis of Videograms of a Revolution (1992) by Harun Farocki and Andrej Ujica and The Pixelated Revolution (2011) by Rabih Mroue, which both reflect on the role of amateur recordings in a revolution.

Video-on-demand: towards new viewing practices Vrije Universiteit Brussel
In this paper, we focus on the user aspects of a specific television service, video-on-demand (VOD), offered on two platforms: TV and computer. The concept of video-on-demand has already for a long time been the subject of new media research, first in its analogue version and more recently as a digital service. The main asset of this functionality, embedded in different devices, is that it offers the ability of video content being watched at any ...

On the art of accompanying the score. Louis Adam’s instruction for reducing orchestral music on the piano Orpheus Institute
In Louis Adam’s 1804–5 Méthode de piano one finds an enigmatic and surprisingly concise eleventh chapter, entitled “On the Art of Accompanying the Score,” a somewhat convoluted way to describe a practice of reducing orchestral scores at the piano. The key to understanding its inclusion, this essay argues, is not to contextualize (as recent musicology has done) this practice of arrangement as that of amateur musicians playing off published piano ...
Networking or not working? A comparison of Arab Spring coverage in Belgian newspapers and TV news Ghent University
This paper examines journalists’ changing sourcing practices in the context of an emerging media ecology initiated by processes of globalization, digitization, commercialism and concentration. Social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter or YouTube provide the means to access a more diverse range of sources, including civil society organizations and ordinary citizens. We developed a quantitative content analysis to examine to what extent ...
