291 doesn’t really do marketing, but…
The latest edition of Afterimage, the excellent journal of media arts and cultural criticism, is now out in stores. In this issue, among other great content largely focused on digital media, you’ll find an essay I wrote about Facebook and its impact on vernacular photography entitled “The Impersonal Album: Chronicling Life in the Digital Age.” Essentially, I argue that Facebook represents the next step in a long tradition of friend and photograph collecting, but it revolutionizes the medium of the album through its implementation of hypertext theory. (Don’t worry; it’s not too academic.)
Look for it at a bookstore near you, or–better–subscribe through the web site.
