What relational aesthetics can learn from 4chan
4chan is an in the moment type site. The images are ephemeral, short lived. "Keeps no permanent record of itself,"
“It is up to us as beholders of art to bring [unforeseen associations] to light, [”¦] to judge artworks in terms of the relations they produce in the specific contexts they inhabit” [3] concludes Bourriaud in his 2001 book, Postproduction."
"In unmediated
communication, social cues are communicated through words, tone of voice, gesture, clothing, facial
expression, proximity, etc. These cues provide information about a person’s age, race, social class, and
gender, they reveal emotional state, and they help to choreograph the interaction. In mediated
communication, some or most of these cues are absent, and other cues, nonexistent in the unmediated
world, may be present."
Unmediated, meaning face to face, in person, with nothing blocking the actual view or providing cover.
Mediated, meaning there is obscurity in the vision and it is easier than ever to change what is or can be seen. Much easier to lie about who you are and what you look like since you are not necessarily face to face.Video-conferencing- is it better to be seen while having the meeting? You may be seen and your tone as well as feeling may be made more clear, but you don't always have a clear or proper connection. If that is the case, then wouldn't text based or televised conferencing be better?
Computer based communication has changed the way we create art and communication. You have the choice either way of being anonymous, but don't always have tombs choice whether or not your work is preserved for a long period of time. You can take it down whenever, but in order for the physical piece to stay relevant, then you have to have someone take an active interest. With media based, you can keep promoting and pushing your pieces all over the place.
