I actually really like the title of this class:
Art Practice and the Digital Diaspora:
Migrants, Nomads, Transients, and Miscrients
So what does diaspora even mean?
Diaspora: “the movement, migration or scattering of people from their original homelands”
We are moving into a new age! The digital age. Virtual reality is becoming REALITY. What does that mean? And I’m shitty with titles but I’ll give one anyways:
Art in the Metaverse
If you’ve read Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson, you’ll know what the Metaverse is:
^ PLEASE give that a look!

I nominate
1) Elise to write some witty description of the show using World of Warcraft language,
2) Greg for graphics,
3) Brenda for interpretive dance and song in a Youtube video,
4) and me (Rexy) for Flash e-cards.
I’ll start:
1) Our Great Frame Show
2) User Interpretation
3) Bits and Zips
4) Alan’s Infinite Turing Machine
5) The Real Virtual Smashups REDUX!
6) A Real Digital Spectacle/Diaspora
7) Just Wiki Diaspora
I propose that each one of us bring ONE intimate and USED personal item such as a sweater, a spoon, a pair of shoes, a pair of jeans, a pair of socks, a comb, etc. Basically anything related to the body and somewhat unsettling. And we should tag the items with “Kurzweil” tags.

This news article looks at how certain things on the internet, like anonymity, enable and promote anger and violence. It’s interesting to look at how internet culture is different than real life culture.
