Dissertation-initial ideas

my initial ideas are
1. the use of media propaganda in WW2 properly the Nazi side
2. the The Fibonacci Sequence In Art 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, etc.

The first idea the propaganda has been an interest for me for years.
since studying the war when I was 15 dealing with how a chicken farmer like Gobbels could use media to turn a whole nation to such hideous crimes.
marrying constant lies and throwing up and over again and again until the people were convinced what he said must be true. the work Levi Riefenstahl making films for the Nazi party.
the posters, the newspapers the constant pressure of party broadcasts banging in on there heads.


the second idea also i have been thinking about for a while.
since watching a film called Pi, where they are looking for a particular number 216 digits in length.
the Fibonacci Sequence is discussed in this film greatly.
this sequence crops up in art, music and nature all the time.
the problem with this is how do i put this together with Digital Media?
it is used in modern design like the golden mean and the a band called TOOL use it in their music to structure the music and lyrics.

defiantly will be one of there headings because this is where my head is.
