Sessions Notes
Andre
- two forms of spam:
- crafty spam
- automated cyber crime forms of spam
feedback on essay
- digital folklore - its definition is not clear enough to base the thesis on it
- asking if spam is a cultural artifact, its maybe stating the obvious. It doesn't need to be proved.
- what will be the thesis angle ?
- literary criticism
- ethnographic - create a map of the current forms of operation of spam
- culture studies - the evolution of spam (has been written by A.Ludovico, and in Spamology article)
feedback of work
- choose your own adventure
- hypertext fiction
- both contain the danger of diluting of the story - i don't have to add another layer to it
- how the personal conversations get - the real stories behind it (??)
- the use of hyper-fiction to document could work
- parallel universe going on 24/7(??)
connecting facts and traces
- showing the different narrative, that by placed together the fiction emerge
- the stories that are within the email
- what i want to tell? stick to fiction, or show what is behind the curtain - double narrative?
next small project
- map the interaction within all the emails
Aymeric: afraid that there is not that much inter-relations within the material is there a mythology to be written about this characters or is simply a collections of small stories? how far can be the these inter-links go? what i want to communicate with the richness of this material ?
- once this information is mapped try to render this connections and materials
