Distributed Aesthetics
Distributed aesthetics, then, concerns experiences that are sensed, lived and produced in more than one place and time. This might equally be a sketch of reconsiderations of the operations of cultural memory or of phenomena such as endurance performances. But what we propose, through gathering together the disparate pieces in this fibreculture journal issue, is that techno-social networks are crucially constitutive of this distributed aesthesia. In various ways, all the texts here take up the mode through which ‘the network’ – the juncture and disjunction of here and there, you and I, social and individuated – functions as the crucial operand in dispersing and contouring perception, art practice and aesthetics.

it is the call of citational student thinking. what if it is the little ones prancing around like given grids, and all that is required is for you to spawn the elaborate, to wander about, if you will, when you have nothing left to think about?

I'm not sure. But what can I do? The only alternative would be to turn comments off.

What a rubbish comment. Blog owner, who is that person?

what if you function "off the grid" of fibreculture yet through gossip and citation, you are given a presence there? what if you don't want it because you consider it detrimental to your work as an artist whose art requires isolation from the grid?
