Nice article at Artlog (good to keep in mind) about artist who use the internet to rebel against the internet. Also to do with my presntation about crowdsourcing - on of the artist i talked about (Miranda July) actually used crowdsourcing to rebel.
It says : Back in 2002 when July launched Learning to Love You More, she considered the internet “a really cool way to get lots of people involved” and “to ask people to engage with other people.” Keeping the focus on the interaction and not the technology, she designed the website’s assignments so that participants would have to leave the computer in order to complete them. July called her strategy “using the web to rebel against the web,” and strains of that rebellion echo throughout the show, a tone that might resonate even more in 2011 than 2002, as the internet in equal measure facilitates protests and compromises privacy.
