Re: RHIZOME_RAW: Re: I tag you tag me: a folksonomy of internet art - invitation

Hi there.

Since it is a forever ongoing project, there will never be an end… you ca=
n see it as it evolves and changes over time as a regular delicious page he=
re:
http://del.icio.us/I_tag_you_tag_me
or you can see it in what will be its main form here:
http://www.6pli.com/I_tag_you_tag_me
with all its relations visible, thanks to a new software created by moebio,=
still being developed, giving a different insight to the collective genera=
tion of meaning, the folksonomy of internet art I was refering to.

Best,
Luis

Hi Luis.
You should check out http://steve.museum
an open source museum tagging project.
Cheers,

Hi Lee,
thanks for the info on http://steve.museum/

there is a difference, though. the core of I tag you tag me lies in folsonomy creation, and how that collective way of producing meaning about pre-existing content can be considered curating, or not.

I think the interest in this project is in seeing how, and if, people add content, what kind of content it is and how it is organized through tagging and bundling those tags. In http://steve.museum/ there is a hierarchy, you can only add content. Here, since the users are given the account's password, they're free to do whatever they chose. Add or remove content, add or remove tags, add or remove bundles, change tags, change bundles… everything is possible, really. It is a collective way of producing meaning, and a discourse (a random one, depending on unpredictable contingencies) about net art, through tagging. Removing a work is as important as adding it in the first place. Removed items can be added again and nothing is stable or defined. It doesn't work in a cumulative way as the project you linked, where more tagging means more information. Here, it is the dynamics underlying the tagging activity that really matters. That and the relations established between different content. That's why http://www.6pli.com/I_tag_you_tag_me became of great importance. First because it was a way of interacting with the relations that del.icio.us simply couldn't allow, giving us a way of seeing how all that information is structured and interconnected in a three-dimensional, interactive model and secondly because it was suggested, created and added by someone else. I didn't even know the software existed.

Best,
Luis
