User:Eleanorg/Works I've Enjoyed
This is a record of works I've enjoyed in each month - not ones that have been newly made, but that I have encountered or re-encountered, and struck a chord at this particular time. It's an attempt to overcome my terrible memory for names; a crib sheet for tutorials, etc.
Jan 2012
- 10,000 Copyrighted Images, Richard Wright
- Deceptively simple format; bases a critique of copyright in age of 'information overload' on human perceptive capability
- ExtInked, UHC Collective
- Beautiful use of volunteers in ritual-like format; demands long-term commitment; participants are 'witnesses not spectators' a la Etchells
Dec 2011
- Listening Post, Ben Rubin and Mark Hansen http://earstudio.com/2010/09/29/listening-post/
- Meditation on collective mind; integration of pre-designed elements with live data; creation of physical space from virtual subject
- Creative integration of performance into social media; draws attention to inherent performativity of these platforms
