re: 'The Accidental Archivist: Criticism on Facebook, and How to Preserve It
This is fine (and dandy) where there is a conversation to 'archive' if archive one wants to do. but where is there a conversation? ___
a conversation hardly exists anywhere (and certainly in fb there is a flattening out of any such event .... )/hence
would one expect it to be different in a media that billions 'use' daily hourly? billions pressing billions of buttons going like like like like like like like ad infinitum .
however, the work continues| but in my view at least those artists, especially those that speak and write in languages in which they are able to understand one another, are responsible for the failure of conversation to begin and continue
as one of the responsibilities of the artist is the teaching faculty
to promote discussion among people, 'the' people 'the' populace...
those who think otherwise are simply promoting silence and the end of discourse
