Identity Construction (Marcuse Gallery, 2007) addresses the structural aesthetics of Myspace.com. While Myspace is considered by many to be an aesthetic nightmare, its formal structure may be largely responsible for generating a wider level of public participation (over 100 million participants) in media creation than any prior venue in history. |

Biomemetics is an interactive animated visualization of the exchange of media and the structure of popularity within the largest online social network, Myspace.com. This interactive visualization supports large-scale social research by enabling online ethnographers to visually identify social structures and observe the distribution of media. Artistically, Biomemetics seeks to represent large-scale online social activity as a biological process, generating an abstracted portrayal of the human social “super-organism”. |
