Although they are deeply related to our mostprimal fears and concerns, mythical monsters andfigures such as vampires also find new meaningand resonance through each era – hence theirconstantly renewed appeal and popularity.

For instance, the reinvention of the vampire mythin the late XIXth century was not without politicalovertones. Indeed, the aristocratic Count Dracula,alone in his castle, feeding on his peasantry, wasreminiscent of the parasitic Ancien regime. Thena century later, the Twilight series used vampiresas a way to talk about the ever increasingteenage angst plaguing western societies.

NOW, AS DIGITAL IS DEEPLY CHANGING OUR LIVES, ITSEEMS VAMPIRES CAN BOAST YET A NEW MEANING –BEING A PROPER METAPHOR FOR SEVERAL CURRENTTRENDS, BE THEY COMPLETELY NEW ONES OR OLDONES REVAMPED THROUGH NEW TECHNOLOGY.

activities is a common feeling to our generation.

Intelligence, beauty, charisma…They have it all, and they‟ll make sure you realize it :

Feel their influence, admire them for all they are –and what you‟ll never be.

As digital natives, we grew up being filmed and taken in hundreds of pictures. Profile pictures pimped on Instagram,

hundreds of friends and followers,

check-in’s at cool places and dreams

of becoming stars in our areas of interests…

We are the masters of Personal Branding.

PART II-

They no longer fear day light still their dead hearts beat louder at night.

Media consumption is in constant change.

Old prime times no longer rule, but new ones are on their way.

One is no longer dependant on program schedules.

Spending nights in front of a computer or anyconnected device is now common place.

People that don’t sleep much at night aren’t necessarily insomniacs anymore.

They may just be regular internet users.

ROCK THE

NIGHT WE

SHALL…

Immortal as they are, time is cheap and life is a limitless game.

You over there! Come here and entertain!

Night life gets crazier each day, and the average clubbers

and alcohol drinkers keeps getting younger.

New party concepts and trends, brands investing the territory…

Today, it’s all about finding new ways of enjoying the night,

even in the most extreme ways!

The urge to feed…

Once you taste the fast flowing pleasure, every second feels like „its now or never‟ !

Behaving like everyone else might let you think of yourself as a normal person..

But that doesn’t mean you are not an addict.

An info addict for instance.

A social contact addict maybe?

You may not drink blood or even alcohol.

But 30 days without your mobile phone could be a challenge you may not take.

VIDEOS, COMICS AND BLOG ARTICLES HAVE ALL ENJOYED EXPRESSING CONTENT AND CONTACT ADDICTION : HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES.

To the immortal children of a bloody playground, gaming is no joke.

There are hardcore gamers, social gamers, casual gamers…

Today, there are as many types of gamers as kinds of people.

We expect to be able to do anything in the most enjoyable way and transforming tasks into

games becomes a widely spreading behavior.

Today gaming is a part of who we are,

of how we think and develop solutions.

…TAKING CARE OF CHORES CAN BRING POINTS.

…ONE CAN LEARN HOW TO WASTE

LESS WATER BY GAMING AND…

IN ALTERNATE REALITY GAMES
