Project 3

 PROJECT 3 Internetting

There is an infinite amount of information “fluctuating” on the internet. Non-stop
content for anyone about anything. You can deeply submerge yourself in whatever
you are interested in, or not interested in... (algorithms)
 
There are also “internet celebrities” that can be either specific people, animals,
challenges, memes... viral content that expands instantly. (Fyre, The Greatest Party
That Never Happen)

Amanda Hess, in her series “Internetting with Amanda Hess” presents “phenomenon”
found on internet and critically analyses them. She might start from her own
appreciation about them, to their form, to their implications, to their relations to other
forms, etc. She deconstructs each phenomena and presents it to us. She unveils the
systems implicated to reveal sub-content rooted in them.

Bring 5 (you can have more is you want) “phenomenon” that fascinate you, repulse
you, or plain confuse you... We will deconstruct them.

ASK YOURSELF THESE QUESTIONS —
- What is being discussed/proposed/stated/assumed?
- What is the main argument of persuasion?
- What proof(s) is being used?
- How can it benefit others? Or the opposite
- Who are the stakeholders?
- What words convey the structure/ feelings/dynamics of it?
It is almost like being a scientist that is dissecting an insect to comprehend their internal
composition and the connections of it with the ecosystem they come from. Be
meticulous
****NOTE: Exploring these phenomenon can make us feel part or apart from them.
