Last summer i posted a visual essay on Medium of Slides and Notes from a presentation given at Theorising the Web #TTW14 NYC April 2014 with updated/expanded comments. I really like the possibility that beautiful html storytelling can/could afford – A few people however have said that they couldn’t get on with all the ‘scrolley’ but ah well. Maybe i’ll sort it out and post it to tumblr or something.
The piece was later put on a reading list for a university of new south wales MA course (which was something i never thought would happen) and i have subsequently had the opportunity to read quite a few thoughtful and critical response to it.
You can read the abstract/submission for this talk previously posted on this blog here. I have also embedded a video of the full panel and the Q&A from #TTW14 at the bottom of the medium post if you prefer.
:: (DIS)ASSEMBLING #STACKTIVISM – A SALON ::
In october i was part of a salon during frieze week at the Goethe-Institute presented in conjunction with the whitebuilding called (DIS)ASSEMBLING #STACKTIVISM – A SALON alongside: Kari Altmann (Artist in Residence at The White Building), Paul Raven (University of Sheffield), Julieta Aranda (E-Flux)
There was a reading list issued beforehand. So the discussion was quite sprawling and far reaching. I had a great time.
Video of the evening below (sorry cant figure out how to center it)
