Jennifer Dalton Talks #TheSocialGraph & Social Media

Fri, 12 Nov 2010 07:02:53 +0000

Jennifer Dalton stepped right into the heart of New York's social media art movement when she, along with artist William Powhida, organized #Class at the Winkleman Gallery earlier this year. The exhibition was as much a social media event producing a constant stream of Facebook content, Twitter conversations, livestreams, and Flickr images, as a IRL one. Since then, she has created ?What Are We Not Shutting Up About? (Five Months of Status Updates and Responses from Jerry Saltz?s Facebook [Profile] Page)? (2010), which she exhibited this past summer at the FLAG Art Foundation. When I asked her to include ?What Are We Not Shutting Up About ? ? in #TheSocialGraph it was for many reasons but notably because it beautifully demonstrates one of many art communities that have emerged online. I spoke to her on Thursday, November 11 after she installed the work at Outpost, and we discussed how her views of the work may have changed and what she thinks about social media ? her first reaction was ?douchebag.?
