Every old medium was once new. And when something gets old we’ve got to search for a way to give it its old glance back. The printed book was once a new medium. It was revolutionary, groundbreaking. But today the book is just a commodity. It is still used very often, but for how long? Terry Flew wrote in his…

MIN(D)ING Your Data

Last week, ‘surveillance and control’ was the theme the Masters of Media-students were debating about. Theorists as Michel Foucault, Deleuze, Galloway and Thacker and Chun passed the revue. With the articles of the last three theorist there was some pessimism going on during the discussions.

In their article ‘Protocol, Control and Networks’, Galloway and Thacker write about the network discourse…

How would I do research in web 2.0 and Social Network Sites? First I have to make clear for myself what web 2.0 exactly is. According to Tim O’Reilly, one of the founders of web 2.0, web 2.0 existed after the dot.com crash in 2001. In the…

Cyberspace is haunted: friending dead people

Cendy Calis | 26 September 2010, 3:07 pm | 1 comment | tags: Benjamin, death, Derrida, facebook, ghosts, hyves, memorial

The dead are among us in ever growing numbers. They have inhabited a space without time and place where they exist and don’t exist at the same time. You can tag and poke them but be careful because they can come back to haunt you.

Almost everyone has a profile on a social networking site. We upload…

Social Networking Sites: Safety First

Charlotte van Brakel | 28 September 2009, 4:52 pm | tags: hyves, personal information, privacy, social networks, unique identifier

The rise of social networking sites makes people put a lot of personal information on the internet. The idea behind this is simple. How more complete and updated your profile is, the more easier you are to find on the web and the more friends you get.

I always found it interesting to see how…

Possibilities and threats for popstars in Web 2.0

Arno de Natris | 02 September 2009, 12:17 pm | 1 comment | tags: hyves, music industries, myspace, popstars, sellaband, stardom, Thesis, twitter, web 2.0, youtube

Popstars have an economic function, like filmstars. They promise a performance. They are the profit makers of the entertainment industries. From an ideological point of view, popstars maintain a myth of meritocracy. The industries and the stars themselves want to show that stardom stands for freedom and wealth and present this as positive, something everyone must have and therefore, everyone…

The digital Grim Reaper

Arno de Natris | 18 December 2008, 4:42 pm | 3 comments | tags: hyves, social network sites, the body

Isn’t it remarkable that a profile on a social network site is almost always linked to a person that exists in real life? Most profiles are related to someone, some group or something that is palpable. Of course, some people do have more than one profile, due to the wish of not linking private and work, or maybe due to…

It is an information visualization system that visualizes networks within the Friendster social networking service. Within networks there can be seen how networks are related…
