Misc. Monday {Seven 0.3}
Day 3 of Seven: Draw Your Days!
sipping a morning coffee. a doc visit. working on my blog paper. reading grad students’ papers. picking up a dress. getting a happy email-news. munching a rangginang (rice cracker snack) from cimahi. meeting an old friend from jakarta.

notes on participatory culture (2)
Social networking platforms have turned interactivity between individuals into relational and relational into participation. Through this participation, not by formalized membership, community is formed.
Using blogs and social network sites such as Facebook, the Seven initiator called individuals not to only ‘join’ and ‘perform’ but to socially construct a collective performance and expression of art. Here, individual ‘perform’ not by displaying their identities/profiles, but by stitching their identities together into the ‘public art space’ and negotiate their individual expression with the collective identity (theme: Seven).
hyaaaaaaaaaa! bagus!
I’ve to admit I do not yet grasp the concept of “stitching … identities together”. But these individual contributions are just great ( and the productivity high obviously).
Mer, Very nice. I love it…
cg: hyaaaa, ada cg
colson: when i tried to express the processes of mix-and-match, retrofit, reshape what individual wants to express into ‘collective identity’ (through a certain theme/focus/topic of a group activity), i came up with the word ‘stitching’ — like when you’re trying to quilt a big blanket. perhaps it’s not a right term — haven’t reflected much on it. these notes are my scrap-notes. hopefully i can write a real paper based on these notes.
ben ben: thanks, glad you love it
