i dragged the enlarged version from marks (abaton) fb page. its pretty clean (no?) and hosted for free. and ready for instant up loading here. im not aware of value being an issue there.
lots of sposed to's there for something thats out there avbl to reworking. sorry you dont like how it looks. i like it in this twig and ink iteration. i think netiquette allows for wide open reinterpretation. granted the op is entitled to their opinion too. but i dont think you can (or should be able to) delete my reworking either.
what fb offers is quite malleable. i doubt users would consider a nom de plume guerrilla use. some people have 5000 fake network friends that they never met. some people have 5 - 50 friends and family members and there are millions of variations in between. so generalizing (using hearsay) about use doesnt really hold. every one adapts it to their wants and needs. to see it from the inside out is the only way to form an opinion and is as simple and anonymous as getting a gmail address.
transparency lite is of course a baby step and thats how any change happens. but once its busted open theres no turning back. thats good not dangerous.
internet speed has changed a lot since the origin of gifs. you can keep battling internet change if you want to. i remember your issues with various browsers supporting gifs too. i thought harkening was part of your process. thats the problem w/ obsolete technology, support ceases to exist. que the 8-track cart.
"I'm amused by the lingering rhetoric of futurism--the Buck Rogers, 'machines-will-change-our-lives' spieling--that continues to surround digital production in our society. The computer is a tool, not magic, and possesses its own tragicomic limitations as well as offering new means of expression and communication. I am intrigued by the idea of making some kind of advanced art with this apparatus--objects, images, and installations that hold up to prolonged scrutiny in real space. At the same time, I am drawn to 'cyber-kitsch' in all its forms, whether in old programs such as MSPaintbrush, the amateur imagery that abounds on the Web, or the unintended poetry of technical glitches. My work proudly inhabits the 'lo-fi' or 'abject' end of the digital spectrum."
