Dialogue and reflection from a resistant self who enters the networked space of Facebook…

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.

“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)
