INTERVIEW WITH ROSA MENKMAN, DUTCH VISUALIST - 0 views

  •  
    An interview with Glitch Studies Manifesto author Rosa Menkman that discusses glitch as a genre and Menkman's influence's, inspiration and process. She goes into detail about glitch videos and talks about some artists who create work in the same category. I thought there was a lot of insight into Glitch Studies and there are some useful links at the bottom of the interview too that give more information. Rosinski , Andrew.

What Is Post-Internet Art? Understanding the Revolutionary New Art Movement - 0 views

  •  
    In this recent article, Ian Wallace explores the aesthetic of Post-Internet art. He examines the role of new websites, such as Tumblr, and discusses how this new era of art brings online elements into the real world and vice versa. There are a lot of post-internet artists mentioned in the article, along with links to other articles about them, which I found helpful in getting a better idea of the Post-Internet aesthetic.

From Design Fiction to Experiential Futures - 3 views

  •  
    Scenario planner, strategist and policy advisor Dr. Noah Radford gives us an excerpt from his book, "The Future of Futures", which explores the role of design fiction, it's future and several great examples of design fiction. You can read the second chapter of his book, download a PDF of it, buy the ebook for about $10 and there is also a link at the bottom of the page to read a synopsis of his entire book. There are also links to other, related articles at the bottom of the page. The examples of design fiction that he uses are really interesting. For example, he talks about the short film, "Fly Me to the Moon", which deals with the ideas of electronic payment and the way we will interact with money in the future. Noah , Radford.

Zapatista Solidarity Online: A Case Study of Internet Activism - 0 views

  •  
    This article by Richard Joyce gives a more in-depth look at the Zapatistas and how they have created the new movement of Internet activism as means to take action against political powers. It touches upon some of the positive and negative aspects of their methods, along with a brief history and several examples of the ways they have used the Internet to take action. Joyce's critical analysis of the Zapatista movement allows for a new perspective that differs from that of the Electronic Disturbance Theater. Joyce, Richard. Bowdoin, "Zapatista Solidarity Online: A Case Study of Internet Activism."

The Electronic Disturbance Theater and Electronic Civil Disobedience website - 1 views

  •  
    As mentioned throughout the interview with Ricardo Dominguez, the Electronic Disturbance Theater is a group of cyber activists who use electronic civil disobedience to non-violently take action against political powers. On this site, a part of thing.net, there are brief descriptions of the Electronic Disturbance Theater and electronic civil disobedience. There is also information surrounding the EDT's influences, beliefs and methods of electronic civil disobedience. Many of the brief descriptions are accompanied with links to larger, more in-depth articles as well. Wray, Stefan. thing.net, "The Electronic Disturbance Theater and Electronic Civil Disobedience."

The Official website of Britney Spears circa 2000 - 0 views

  •  
    We can see that this website looks like it dates from the late 90s/early 2000s and targets a younger audience due to the style of text used in the header (the 3-D text and the star to dot the 'i') and the overall basic layout that makes use of a more generic type face. All of the information that can be found on the site is hyperlinked on the left side of the page, and when one hovers over each link a colored, square icon spells out the name of the link letter by letter. Compared to contemporary websites, this effect seems to be more of a glitch than a cool, new use of technology. Also to note are some of the terms used throughout the site, including "cool stuff" being listed as the first hyperlink in the left column of the site, as well as the small add for sweet16.com found in the center of the page. A less sophisticated typeface is used in this ad and we see a flower in place of a '.' between sweet16 and com. It is also described as 'The freshest place to party!'. There's only one picture on the right hand side of the text, of a younger Britney Spears in a lace up leather crop top (much different than the fashion style she wears today) and there's a tie dye like pattern in the background of the website that further emotes the style of the late 90s and early 2000s.
