Interesting conversation about usages of Twitter between Nate Hill ( aka @NateXHill ) et al. It’s a good insight/defense of how Hill uses the medium as subversionary tool.
The question of community is something I’ve been thinking a lot about recently. More on this soon; still marinating. Trying to take the time to process before spouting (as is my usual MO). But reblogs hardly count…
…On a technical note I wish this had been Storified instead, but alas…
A few days ago, I retweeted the same Childish Gambino lyrics from maybe a dozen different people. The line is roughly, “Eating oreos like the white girls that blow me.” I meant to tweet it over at @WhitePowerMilk, but (happily) accidentally put it on my personal twitter. I think that’s how this conversation got started about retweet curation, twitter as “art”, and what it means to be a troll…

Dude, I’m done, I just can’t take it anymore #intheunfollowcategory
@nateXhill says:
why are you telling me you’re unfollowing? What’s your motivation here?
@nateXhill says:
Maybe I have something to learn from someone who wants to make a thing out of unfollowing me?
@kurokowa says:
following someone is a public endorsement, I wanted my #unfollow to be just as public.
Documentation of Grey Matter, a performance I did in London back in September 2011 for the alpha-ville festival.
It was a lot of fun, and there are some truly great people involved in that festival. So lucky and grateful to work with them, not to mention all the great folks at the V&A.
