Another interesting experiment is the MySpace investgation that I launched this week. Of course, people are revealing the issues quite well, such as intellectual property, the issues of application/selection, certain aspects of formalism, the nature of curation when there are technically no constraints to who can be a curator, curating in a commodified space, and so on. As someone who is eternally curious about what online culture can tell us abotu how cultule reconfigures itself, I look at the "Summer of MySpace" exhibition as a real learning experience. I hope that this was not too far off topic.
