"Monika Bielskyte is NOT a person. Monika Bielskyte is an extraordinary and inspirational force of nature. In the twin realms of technology and creativity, she is a swirling mass of information, innovation, insight and connections - one of the leading voices in future tech. If you want to dance along the bleeding edge of art and creativity, Monika is the jedi you're looking for.”
theAudience
"Monika Bielskyte has a rare capacity to cross correlate and unify design thinking across diverse media forms and platforms. Old "transmedia" paradigms have been faltering and falling away for a number of years now. The reason for this has to much to do with the disconnection of origin creative logic(and spirit) not carrying over from the first expression of a creative idea into related or supposedly connected expressions made separately. Monika is able to break that broken paradigm and consider the permutations of original concept into new forms while the first form is still being created. In this way, she is an early pioneer of "Deep Media" and is currently demonstrating how to take that progressive strategy for design into experiential forms and formats to come."
