Brevi note sulle risposte artistiche ai mutamenti nel campo dell’editoria

Saggio pubblicato in origine sul catalogo di Fahrenheit 39 (Terza edizione). Rilanciato quotidianamente da prototipi avveniristici e opinioni illustri, il dibattito sul futuro dell’editoria risulta oggi più che mai acceso.

851px x 315px – A Facebook Cover Performance – 50 Images

November 6, 2012 – 1:29 pm

851px x 315px took place between September 12th, 2012 and November 1st, 2012. Here you can see the collection of images.

The motivations behind 851px x 315px were, in first place, to highlight the boundaries that the inteface of Facebook imposes to users, the way in which personal expression is standardized like in advertising banners. Additionally it represented a way to reflect upon the construction of identity that takes place on dominant social media, through a rejection of any personal expression which is substituted by a set of rules (in this case picture dimensions and time span).
