let’s talk a bit more about (social) memory and identity…
- jurgenson, “pics and it didn’t happen”
- a brief, unrequired, statement on snapchat linking it to the sexting stuff from last week (among other things)
- van dijck, “digital photography: communication, identity and memory“
- an older (and thus technologically “ancient”) piece by van dijck, but that nicely covers how we expect/use digital to enhance/change/erase memories, in case you want that background: “from shoebox to performative agent: the computer as personal memory machine”
in other news…
- SFMOMA show on sharing images/photos (running until august…)
- some visual urban sociology: looking for shade while waiting for the bus in LA (if interested in urban shade more generally, here’s a good new article on the topic)
