“MICROSOFT ARE THE ANTI CHRISTS”
The world’s longest drunk sentence is exactly as stated on the tin. To be honest, i don’t really have much to say about the entire article, save a portion of it which grew in size exponentially. I’m also not really sure what the point of it was considering that psychography Read more →
Instead of having one single mind spouting everything in his or her mind, we have people from all works of life, spouting their inner thoughts anonymously.This was precisely the idea of the piece, nothing more, nothing less. Now if you think about it, how is this at all different from the spouting of inner thoughts on social media, except in fact they are anonymous. In fact, the Whitney Museum did provide a frame of reference, and a good one at that, talking about how the viewer could contribute to an evolving artwork, which was an entirely new idea at the time.

The huge difference between broadcast TV and the Web is the keyboard. With that people can say anything; they have full expressive capacity.
This quote by Douglas David resonated exactly with my thoughts on the whole piece of constructing the world’s longest sentence – people were free to put anything. ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING – that I find it daunting.
