Ethira http://rhizome.org/editorial/2018/sep/11/rest-in-peace-ethira-an-interview-with-amalia-ulman/
Amalia Ulman’s Ethira (2013) was a social media platform for iPhone that allowed users to post anonymous messages on a public forum, with the caveat that they would disappear soon after posting. Both an artist’s app and a functional communication tool, Ethira emerged from Ulman’s interest in the fluidity of online identity. It was designed to undercut the burgeoning attention economy by limiting the ways that users could be assigned value: they generated no personally identifiable data, and their posts couldn’t be given a score by other users. Instead, it provided an experience akin to shouting into the void.

An Anthem to Open Borders https://pzwiki.wdka.nl/mediadesign/An_Anthem_to_Open_Borders
A lecture-performance inspired by the specific context of the former Yugoslavia, and the phenomenon of social behavior on YouTube, which has developed to the point where pop music videos serve as monuments, triggering emotional reactions that span from nostalgia to fierce political divisions. The topic invites us to consider the more general theme of memory politics in the post-broadcast age.
