Useful information to archive for future analysis….
These are thumbnail images that were created by using 1) Friend Wheel, and 2) Friend Sets, both are Facebook Games that you can add to your profile. The applications arrange all of your FB connections into visualizations. I think they should be categorized under Applications instead of Games, but then again, maybe that’s because I haven’t found a use for any of the other FB games.

I am actually glad that I am not a game person today because it seems I will do anything on Fbook in order to avoid writing my paper. Remember how I told you that I had severe procrastination problems? Well, sometimes I will unconsciously/consciously structure my procrastination so that I am still productive, just not on the task that I am supposed to be doing. This explains why my posts to Postself have been more frequent this past week….and (fingers crossed) why I will be making fewer posts over this next week (please hold me to it!!!)

What is Postself?

Postself is one component to the conceptual art project Selfpost | Postself > an examination of the networked self. An ongoing project of reflection that combines text and image, while also challenging the restrictive template of the everyday blog. The artist documents her relationship to the online networks she exists within, specifically the network of all social networks – Facebook.

Participation from readers is very much encouraged. Comments to posts are welcomed, in text and/or any media format.

Inspired Self

“Under network culture the artist as aggregator increasingly replaces the earlier artist as producer. In this register of networked art, artists draw both on earlier curatorial art practices but also on the DIY forms of aggregation common to network culture." (Kazys Varnelis)

"... contra the critics of social network-based knowledge, the creativity of users across all kinds of platforms, from digital folklore, creative and liberating practices of everyday life, subcultural expressivity, and graphorrhea to artistic production, is capable of producing ‘original’ results, especially if certain human-technical decisions help channel the process." (Olga Guriunova)
