Attach this: whitneymuseum/status/14778056592 on the end of twitter dot com (have a feeling the reason I haven't been able to post is cause of the URL and my noob commenting status)
I'll have a more general response once I've fully read and digested the thread (and back from vacation). Funny that I feel like I've stepped into enemy territory here. And while I'm sure by many eyes I'll still fail the street cred test, I can at least say that I was on Friendster when it was still in Beta (2002?'03?), had a (self-managed) blog in 2003, Twitter account in March of '07, etc... When those became "art practices" for me (or anyone) is a different question. I will say that I like the idea, however flawed/naive, of acting as one of many bridges between worlds. Anyhoo more on this soon and glad to see such a lively debate. Thank goodness for Google Alerts...
Cheers,
Man
