Memes about people you know

or; Seeing yourself in a meme is a bit like seeing yourself on the big screen at a sports event (or in the background during a news or local interest piece on TV).

They have absolutely no relevance when seen out of context, but god they're funny!




You had to be there.

Twitter

I've started using Twitter, even though I originally signed up to it ages ago. I never could get into the idea of just posting the odd line about whatever. I felt more comfortable with the Tumblr format, my being more visual than textual. The reason I'm reviving the Twitter, though, is because it's getting a lot of use amongst the London bike polo crew thanks to the league (using the #lbpl tag) and it's another thing to check when I'm bored. I can't imagine I'll use it that much but I'm adding a twitter feed to the site for shits'n'giggles. If anybody has any suggestions as to who I should follow just send it my way to @AdrienneH.

Tumblr Dramr, or How Tumblarity Made Tumblr Less Good

A very interesting bit of Tumblr drama played itself out to all of those who follow Mogadonia. Recently, it was discovered that Lovegifs had been posting animated gifs without re-blogging or posting any credit, a number of which came from Mogadonia (including some original creations), and therefore unleashing his/her(?) wrath. Mogadonia has put everything together in one tidy post, though a good number of posts were made on the subject.

For those who haven't got Tumblr accounts, beyond just being a public blog, Tumblr acts as an image/post sharing community, where users can "follow" each other and thus build an expansive and continuously updated stream of material on their "dashboard". One feature that comes in really handy is the ability to "re-blog" at the click of a button. This will automatically create a kind of "quoted" blog post (that you can edit) with a digital mark that saves info like who was the original poster, who liked the post, and who re-blogged the post.

This in itself is quite good at maintaining a kind of posting integrity, where even if you choose to strip the post of back-links and previous poster comments, there will always be a link to the original poster that can be accessed by other Tumblr users.

To make things even more interesting, a new feature called the "Tumblarity" was recently added to the dashboard. From the Tumblr staff blog:

[...] we’ve been using an internal metric called “Tumblarity” to sort and filter content on the Search and Popular Content pages. Tumblarity is derived from every blog’s activity and popularity across our network.

Tumblarity is a popularity guauge that only the user themselves can see (unless they decide to publish it, and many have boasted about it) and seems to be calculated by a combination of stats that include number of posts per day, number of likes, number of re-posts and who knows what else (Tumblr doesn't actually lay out what makes up the number).

The number can fluctuate like mad, and originally had users posting about their confusion, which was probably even more confusing for "outside" readers. Initial reviews were mixed at best (there's a great one on Gawker that puts it best IMO), but the topic has more or less faded from the collective Tumblr conscious. It does, however, manage to tacitly resurface from time to time when issues such as this one come about.

Though Tumblarity may have nothing to do with Mogadonia's frustrations, having it there to remind you of how "successful" your work, taste and curatorial skills are makes "credit" that much more important. It's no longer just a matter of properly citing your sources, but also of giving "props", and though I empathise and respect an artist's copyright, I can't help but feel that a lot of this is based more in the ego trip of popularity.

I am by no means above this, I always revel when my "finds" get re-blogged or posted elsewhere, linking back to either here or my Tumblog, but one can't justifiably force themselves upon others by saying "I made this!" or "I found this!" when so little (especially when it comes to animated gifs) is ever found only once or by only one person. Part of the joy of the internet is the anonymity and reproducibility - success is when a gif spreads like a virus and can no longer be traced to an "original" (what and where is the original when it comes to digital material, anyway?) - it is no longer "mine" but of the internet.

Perhaps I'm being too idealistic, but what is represented as conspiracy looks to me like a show of laziness and/or a desire to have (yet another) hot new animated gif Tumblog. Lovegifs is little more than a minor symptom of the internet and, at worst, a major symptom of Tumblarity.

Street View!!

Yes! I've been waiting for this day since that day! Got Street Viewed (with Mark)!

Happy Birthday to me!!

Is this real life?

Lurkers v Audience

I just read a kind of interesting blog post linked via the NN delicious network on Lurking as Community. Basically, it's trying to take a positive spin on the lurker, which I don't mind, since I am one - always have, always will be. It suggests that the lurker can still have an impact on the community, which I don't doubt, but I just don't necessarily agree with the examples chosen. For one, the author is using a specific individual that she knows is a lurker but also knows as a RL contributor to that community. The next problem I have is that the network she specifically refers to is the blogosphere.

Lurking, as I understand it, refers to individuals who are visibly present within an interactive platform and still choose not to participate (or, more specifically, contribute, because in visibly being there they are participating by leaving a mark). Message boards are a perfect example as they are nothing but user created material and the members and guests that are viewing the forum are always listed somewhere at the bottom of the screen ("I see you lurkin'!). I like the history of the term given on Wikipedia:

The term dates back to the mid-1980s. Because BBSs were often accessed by a single phone line (frequently in someone's home), there was an expectation that all who used a bulletin board would contribute to its content by uploading files and posting comments. Lurkers were viewed negatively, and might be barred from access by the sysop, if they did not contribute anything but kept the phone line tied up for extended periods.

So my first question is, can the blogosphere be lurked? Although Web 2.0 has helped transform (the concept of) the internet into a participatory rather than merely informative platform, beyond the ability to comment (which not all authors choose to allow), the blog offers a purely one way relationship to its audience. And like an audience, blog readers are usually faceless or nameless, there are no (or at least rarely) lists of active users at the bottom of the page. Which brings up the third issue, which is, can lurkers be compared to an audience?

Audiences, unless to a participatory event, are not expected to contribute, and the instant they begin to take part, the boundaries between audience and actor begin to break down (which is the point of most participatory events). A lurker, I would say, is more like a student. In class, you are often expected to participate, but many choose to say nothing. They are taking in the information (or not) and will fulfill their requirements elsewhere.

The lurker, it is understood, is "taking up space," they are that person standing in the way when everybody around them is trying to get on. I don't want to put such a negative spin on it, but I'm just trying to contrast the lurker with the audience for whom a space to "lurk" or observe has been assigned: An audience has a place to stand or sit, whereas a lurker is right in the thick of it.

Lurkers participate within their community because of their visibility. We are aware of their presence not just because they are observing the actions of others, but because we are also anticipating their possible activity. They are potential. And because we don't know what they'll say, or when they'll say it, because they are not behaving in the expected way, they can bring about some form of anxiety in the others, making the lurker hyper visible.

The Goods

A Google Images search for animated gifs will almost always bring up the above image.

Today, I finally got to see the goods. Rejoice!

Wikipedia Loves Art at the V&A

This February Wikipedia is loving art at the Victoria and Albert museum here in London! A fun opportunity to finally make that contribution to everyone's favorite wiki and take part in a large scale free culture/open media event.

LM's Dynamic Web Links at lalBLOG!

In Lorna Mills' final class post she encouraged everybody to save all the links she posted throughout the term since the page wasn't going to last forever. This course has been a tremendous resource for me and I didn't want to lose these great examples of net art, "hacking" tutorials and web-building tools, and so I have taken it upon myself to do just that.

Now, I could have just as easily saved all the html files to my computer (which, in hindsight, seems like a much less obsessive or creepy option), but instead have opted for compiling all the links into an easily accessible four blog posts. I've post-dated them to the beginning of the month so as to not overtake the front page, and they've been given their own category tag, so they can easily be found.

See them all here.

Comment on my inability to come up with my own original content here.

1996

It's finally* been long enough since the 90s that they can be easily be identifiable by certain key features:

- Obnoxious homepages that are perpetually under construction with illegible text on busy tiled backgrounds, littered with counters and an inexplicably high number of "awards," and "hidden" Easter eggs.
- References to The Simpsons, Seinfeld, The X-Files, Pulp Fiction, Pam Anderson, etc.
- Excessive use of the word "Awesome."
- General excitement or optimism when it comes to the World Wide Web.
- Referring to the Internet as "the World Wide Web."
- Netscape

Jason's Awesome WWW Home Page!!!!

*This is the wrong choice of words, because I'm pretty sure these "features" were well known a few years back, but it sounds more dramatic and exciting than just "check out this crazy web page."

Vernacular Web 2

Olia Lialina's Vernacular Web 2 is a really nice look at how Web 2.0 has changed the relationship between amateur-and-web and professional-and-web, asking: "how does the Web look now, when it’s no longer seen as the technology of the future, when it’s intertwined with our daily lives and filled by people who are not excited by the mere fact of its existence?"

Although I'm disappointed with the brief acknowledgment of role of cats in today's web, I did really enjoy the extensive investigation of glitter graphics (there is a great page comparing dynamic GIFs with glitter-fied GIFs of the same subject matter).

A good read.

Dragan Espenschied quote:

From: Gravity
"The pressure to be up to date with technology appears insane to me. It doesn't bring any more beauty or pleasure. Instead it creates things that are hard to understand and impossible to handle. So nobody can actually experience them beyond reading the artist's concept."

(quite rich considering that it comes from Rhizome) ([eta] I'm mocking Rhizome, not Dragan Espenschied)

Tom Moody Quote:

“Artists, too, have to compete with real world content far more captivating than anything they could come up with, which the Internet effectively gathers all in one place (sneezing Pandas, etc). Two possible responses are (1) to continually rise above it through aesthetic and conceptual framing and posturing or (2) to disappear into it and trust the viewer to ultimately sort out what's going on. The Web is a consumer's medium, not a producer's, so the artist is inexorably led to consumption as a "practice." The degree of criticality can only be inferred, not implied."

L.M. on Surf Clubs:

I find everyone's work to be more alive in the surf club, probably because even though a surf club is still a controlled context, it seems truer to the web than most pristinely designed individual artists' sites. I also noticed that surf clubs don't function that differently than the traditional artists' exhibiting collectives that we like so much here. Unmoderated by curators, and a variety of other gatekeepers and the artists end up driving it themselves, to mixed results, but when it's good, it's very good.

Joe McKay's list of what artists do with the web (abbreviated):

1. As a place where artists promote their “real world” work.
The site acts as a slide sheet and resume for self promotion. [in case you haven't noticed, this is most definitely NOT what this class is about, you don't take a printmaking course to print exhibition invitations, or an art history course to write up your own C/V]

2. The site acts like a more traditional "white space" gallery.
Harwood - Mongrel Tate, http://gallery9.walkerart.org/, http://www.sfmoma.org/espace/espace_overview.html

3. Where the art starts offline but there is a web component that's important to reach the intended audience.
http://www.critical-art.net/ http://www.safetygearforsmallanimals.com/SGSA.html

4. where artist use the medium itself to mess with the ideas of what the internet should be.
http://www.exonemo.com/ http://www.jodi.org/. http://map.jodi.org/

5. where artists use social networking / web 2.0 tools and the culture of digital society itself as a medium for making art.

6. People who never intended to make art, but it has "become" art over time, or some of us artists consider it art. [Joe is some of us]

The ecstasy of influence: A plagiarism by Jonathan Lethem

Artists and writers—and our advocates, our guilds and agents—too often subscribe to implicit claims of originality that do injury to these truths. And we too often, as hucksters and bean counters in the tiny enterprises of our selves, act to spite the gift portion of our privileged roles. People live differently who treat a portion of their wealth as a gift. If we devalue and obscure the gift-economy function of our art practices, we turn our works into nothing more than advertisements for themselves. We may console ourselves that our lust for subsidiary rights in virtual perpetuity is some heroic counter to rapacious corporate interests. But the truth is that with artists pulling on one side and corporations pulling on the other, the loser is the collective public imagination from which we were nourished in the first place, and whose existence as the ultimate repository of our offerings makes the work worth doing in the first place.
