Editor's Notes

• #2: since the show is about the use of favorite Youtube videos in the building of artists' online personas, i want to talk about existing online art distribution systems both institutional and more DIY ones-but at some point, everything becomes an institution... I want to think of artistic performance of identity as something that still has political resonance in an immaterial level, and more specfically looking at how art exists in and outside of these systems, and how artists are using these to assert themselves as artists. looking at the deliberate cooption or unintentional uses of "antisocial" gestures like trolling to self-promote or pose bigger questions about systems of art distribution immaterial = still real, nothing illusory. socialization and "like" still happens.no cartesian divide between real and virtual. According to Knopf in "Defriending the web" identity as fluid or subjective, two way street between media myspace/facebook offers the interface and we provide the content while they use the content for stats. I think that besides that our personas are mutually determined
• #3: coppercab not an artist, but lots of remixes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-Vh80CYYrw
• #4: this desired effect is not measurable, so we are looking at apparent or perceived intention.  Spam Flood Griefing Hater - all gestures that serve as performative utterances to intervene or question socialized uses of social networks. - abstracted definition to talk about similar gestures "trolling/griefing is really dependent on percieved intent via reaction rather than intent via action" Robert Lorayn, Computers Club - not the only way to network or get famous or infamous - ambiguity is key:keep them guessing - only thought of antisocial to a group of people ( be it forum users)
• #5: "The Net Abuse FAQ" Scott Southwick and J.D. Falk, 1998.http://www.cybernothing.org/faqs/net-abuse-faq.html#2.1 in web 1.0 terms-when ppl still used BBS and newsgroups/mailing lists to communicate, spam means "The term "spam,"...means "the same article... posted an unacceptably high number of times to one or more newsgroups." CONTENT IS IRRELEVANT. " = excessive multi-posting = flooding
• #6: preface: existing systems of art distribution  the stream-of-images-on-white-background that emulates the white cube specific domains (anonymous)  content curation jstchillin curated tumblr/flickrs unsurreal island of infinity julianassange fansite expressions of aesthetic unity and affinity  both UG and artistic: creating context for image-aggregation practices -feminist remix -war and oil Knopf uses georg simmels idea of the metropolis to speak about individuality on the world wide web: at once connected and offering more room for individual personalization of content, on the other hand, more physical face-time to the screen. Sherry turkle argues: we are alone together.so in light of anonymity and the constnat updating of proprietary browsers and interfaces: how does the artist articulate themselves as a unique individual? identity is unfixed and many actions become cathartic, random, or aleatory--no way to measure how it can liberate us but we can use it in unconventional ways navigation between states of belonging and alienation question the idea of the "netizen"?
• #7: VVORK eflux, vague terrain we make money not art - view on art articulated through curation of content, aesthetically driven interface with abstract references - to get known across various virtual communities the documentation of art in real or online space is almost more important than the original artwork is due to its infinite reproducibility of the digital text as sarah cook says, the work stands in for discursive element on these websites. I think it's because of our short attention economy
• #9: http://jstchillin.org/hanna_nilsson/  image bookmarking that makes recommendations
• #10: http://www.paintedetc.com/ along with flickr these appear to be image aggregators or platforms for media-sharing. 
• #11: Jason Alexander Flores curated flickr www.jstchillin.org http://ani-gif.com/
• #12: more :underground surf clubs: nastynets, spirit surfers, badatsports, forums like 4chan and... dump.fm and can.vas provide a live-chat element  with consumer post software malleability/variability becomes a way for us to produce a multitude of realities troemel says net artists are the "minor league" but I observe that canons begin to form amongst internet artists themselves the ironies of technology is that we get more and more narcisstic and attuned towards what we prefer to see

• #24: from walker art center to lacma
• #26: tenten ten  http://www.facebook.com/101010zzz  anonymity seems to be a trope in net art that validates erratic behavior. could be jodi?
• #27: the jogging Gene Mchugh writes that the art is not found on the wall but in the visibility of "the stream" of user posts otherwise anothr status update in the jogging as artists
• #28: WIkipedia Art Scott Kildall and Stern http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzkJ9fK68zQ used wikipedia page and editing system as a stage for public intervention and performative citation, so that hopefully in the end everyone can edit, contribute and execute the art got called a troll by Jimmy Wales in my research I have found artists are more often called out to be trolling than to have th e intention of trolling in the first place but if anything they all wanted to speak back to art distribution's conservative operation
• #29: FLOODNET The Zapatista Tactical FloodNet  is a Java Applet that assists in the execution of  virtual sit-ins  by automatically reloading the targeted website several times every minute. Additionally, it allows for users to post statements to the site by sending them to the  server log . FloodNet was created by the  Electronic Disturbance Theater  members Carmin Karasic and Brett Stalbaum. This activist group executed FloodNet in April and December 1998 on Mexican and American government sites, respectively. The FloodNet program will only cause desired effect when thousands of users are logged in simultaneously, where all their browsers will automatically reload targeted website and cause desired effect. Desired effect being to cause so much traffic inside the server that any other user attempting to log in will not be able to view the website.
• #30: "Amateur social scientist" trolling?   duping? http://therealannhirsch.com/basementaffairmain.html  exploring role of the famewhore and women's imitation of sexuality exhibited by popcultural icons went on Frank the Entertainer: A Basement Love Affair
• #32: invited mass visitation to a group-voted website biting the hand that feeds? denial of service attacks backfired/anticipated
• #35: TDFC (an)aesthetics of disappearance I respond to him by non-consensually borrowing a conversation and releasing it in an hour after he cancels the events
• #36: documentation of perf committing suicide in over 50 first and third person shooter games.  Freedom by Eva and Franco Mattes http://vimeo.com/16864989 
• #38: In a conversation with Scott Kildall we conceded that over time the significance of these gestures became noticeable, however infinitely small Patty Johnson tweeted 2011 would be the year of 'redundancy' and there is alot of that in gradients, screenshotting/net art, with the rotating objects and effects work that appear removed from emotionality or individual input. So on an interface that is so much about abstracted representations of real life ideas, this is worthy of looking at as something more of a political struggle for individuality worthy of studying if we are using this interface so frequently.
