Get To Know Me!
Hello! I'm Dyzen, and I love creating stuff! Mostly visual related things like graphic design, photography, website like this, et cetera. Oh and writing too! I may be not good at it but that's alright. I just like to express all of my toughts and feelings into words and images. It's the best way for me to understand myself and remember things that could be forgotten. Mainly, I just like trying and learning anyhing that interested me. Curiosity is the one big block that defines who I am.
About This Web
This website has been my personal project since the late 2020. Before this, I made a Spacehey profile as my first attempt to be free from those pesky social medida (spoiler alert: I failed). Spacehey was good, but I need something more. I wanna make my own web, just like those netizens in the early 2000s. Then I started learning the basics of html and css, trying to make this web from ground up, but I gave up mid development because, my laptop is too laggy and it giving me headache. So I just use a layout template and heavily modified it. The layout I used is Cyanobacteria by ribozone.
In the mid of 2024, dynazenta.neocities.org is finally online. The main purpose of this web is to become a platform for expressing my passion and hobbies, sharing my creations, and as a journal that I'd love to share to the world. I'll continue growing this website a bit by bit, code by code. Until I satisfied with the result. Why? because I'll never be satisfied. If I do, that means I gave up.
Me Irl
In real life, people called me Mahza. Born and raised in the beautiful city of Bandung, Indonesia. I'm just an ordinary college student, a little bit socially awkward, and tired all the time. I’m an INTP through and through, which means I’m naturally curious, love exploring ideas, and tend to live in my head more than out in the world. As an introvert, I thrive in quiet spaces where I can reflect, learn, and let my imagination roam free.
My Taste In Music
I'm a music addict, listening to any genre by any artist that just sounds right in my ears. I was an EDM and rap kid before Kpop took a storm in my elementary school era, and then some RnBs catching my attention, not long before I go back to Eletronic Music field like eurobeat, breakcore, shoegaze and stuff. And then entering my emo phase (2022), my playlist slowly filled by alternative and indie rock, even some midwest emo got into. As for now, I'm not sure what genre I'm really into. I'm just gonna play anything that fits my current vibe.
- As for my favorite Artists, here's my top 5:
- eaJ
- .Feast
- Roadtrip To Antartica
- asteria
- Porter Robinson
My Internet Persona
- In the internet, I also known as:
- DynaZenta: My main nickname, used in a lot of platforms.
- 5napster5: My creator side, used in my graphic designing accounts.
- ZenlessZenith: My gamer side, not really used nowadays but mainly for my gamertag.
As a person who grew up with the internet, surfing the web and exploring many corners is always been my hobby. Almost half of my life is spent online especially on the late 2010s. In 2014, when I was 7 years old, I was fascinated by the existence of the world wide web. Exploring the blogs, playing some flash games, watching ogs Youtube videos, and sharing my own toughts on Facebook.
Fast forward to 2020, when the pandemic hits, my obsession with the internet grew even bigger. Unfortunately, for worse. The reason is social media. I woke up in the morning, join my class' Zoom, off cam, and then doomscroll the Instagram, or Twitter, or Reddit. Class finished, doomscrolling still continue. The sun already set, still watching those flashy, fast-paced vertical short videos. It's 3AM, but I'm still busy reading those drama threads on Twitter that I actually didn't care. But yet I'm still doing it because, I'm addicted.
The moment I realized it, that the algorithms slowly consumed my soul, I stopped. But not for long because I can't just detached from the internet, especially when we're all quarantined, right? I just need an alternative for this. Something that's algorithm-free. Something more personal, and didn't consume my soul. And that's how I found out about indie web. I'ts hard for me too keep up, because Geocities n stuff isn't part of my childhood. Took some time to learn, but I managed to do it, and it's really worth it.
