| Summary | "Since the nineties, platforms have invited users to create in return for connection. From blogs to vlogs, tweets to memes, and so much else: for the first time in history, making art became the fundamental form of communication. What started as fun soon became currency, something vital to finding friends, work, and love. Then, as 'meatspace' job security eroded, online creativity became work itself. Now, an internet presence is no longer optional, and platforms increasingly charge users. Whatever it is we're creating online, it isn't amateur anymore. But is it art? Do our everyday creations under Internet capitalism make the grade?"-- |
