Leonardo Flores posted today a review of @OccupyMLA, a 15-month Twitterfic that "occupied" the #MLA hashtag. The authors revealed the fiction at MLA13. Twitter is a medium of speed & partial attention. Is this platform conducive to "activist" poetics?

"Occupy MLA" by Mark C. Marino and Rob Wittig

Occupy MLA is back! But don't be alarmed just yet, since this resurgence of the controversial netprov, takes the shape of a published arc...

— Roger Whitson · Wed, Mar 27 2013 17:47:09

@kathiiberens Are @markcmarino and @occupymla trying to have their cake and eat it too? Certainly context on Twitter is questionable.

— Roger Whitson · Wed, Mar 27 2013 17:48:38

Um, cld u drill down on that, @rogerwhitson? Not following "reinscribe meaning of @occupymla" in 2nd tweet. @readywriting

— Kathi Inman Berens · Wed, Mar 27 2013 17:49:41

@rogerwhitson @readywriting The engine that makes @occupymla go is duplicity. Question: is activist gain sufficient to offset broken trust?

— Kathi Inman Berens · Wed, Mar 27 2013 17:50:59

@kathiiberens thinking of "@occupymla wisely hints at a larger context," "larger storyline." +

— Roger Whitson · Wed, Mar 27 2013 17:51:32

@kathiiberens Seems to suggest that the "real" narrative is the one that is known by the authors, and communicated through @CompHaze

— Roger Whitson · Wed, Mar 27 2013 17:52:09

@kathiiberens But, given Twitter's ability to be decontextualized (that's the whole point), can you make a claim to a bigger context. +

— Roger Whitson · Wed, Mar 27 2013 17:52:42

@kathiiberens Controlled by either the person writing the tweets or the author performing the elit? (c.g. @markcmarino and Rob Wittig).

— Roger Whitson · Wed, Mar 27 2013 17:53:15

@kathiiberens But the key to that is assumption that there is larger narrative beyond interactions. Not sure u can claim that w/ Twitter.

— Roger Whitson · Wed, Mar 27 2013 17:55:29

To me, the larger issue is various overlays of vulnerability. On surface, duplicity is power play by authors.@rogerwhitson @markcmarino

— Kathi Inman Berens · Wed, Mar 27 2013 17:55:57

@kathiiberens Yeah, but I'm saying that you can't claim there is anything but surface, b/c modality of twitter doesn't allow larger context.

— Roger Whitson · Wed, Mar 27 2013 17:57:10

@rogerwhitson Agreed. So then question becomes: duplicity in situ, but then larger ethical payoff when narrative arc is revealed.

— Kathi Inman Berens · Wed, Mar 27 2013 17:57:12

@kathiiberens Yeah, but I find it problematic that any narrative arc can be fully revealed w/in the modality of Twitter.

— Roger Whitson · Wed, Mar 27 2013 17:58:04

@rogerwhitson Until after the fact. Until now. @Leonardo_UPRM's post gets at some key, unresolved issues about role of activist fic.

— Kathi Inman Berens · Wed, Mar 27 2013 17:58:09

@kathiiberens In other words, if tweets are made to be decontextualized as a modality, how can you claim a larger context for them?

Ian, the sarcasm is fine, but the point is informed consent.

— David Murakami Wood · Tue, Dec 18 2012 07:05:08

It's time we stop coddling one another regarding our "rights" in commercial technology services that make it very clear that they only wish to exploit us. Also, using a term like "informed consent," a term normally used for medical treatments, with respect to filtered mobile phone images is comical and possibly even offensive.

— Doc Mara · Tue, Dec 18 2012 07:12:04

Ian Bogost: Ian, you are simply wrong - itt's a standard principle in data protection.

— David Murakami Wood · Tue, Dec 18 2012 07:20:33

I'm suggesting that it's an inappropriate analogy for data protection, particularly in the case of a service as trite as Instagram.

— Ian Bogost · Tue, Dec 18 2012 07:21:36

Ian Bogost: But it isn't an analogy - almost all data protection thinking and law starts from this principle. And what you may regard as 'trite' is not necessarily so to someone else - it very much depends on the content of, and personal feelings about, particular photographs.

— David Murakami Wood · Tue, Dec 18 2012 07:24:53

The data protection community has adapted the concept from medicine. The appropriateness of this adaptation is subject to discussion. As is the idea that we should simply endorse anything anyone has "personal feelings" about rather than looking at the underlying commercial structures those feelings are intertwined with.

— Ian Bogost · Tue, Dec 18 2012 07:29:11

Ian Bogost: That's a lot more nuanced than what you said initially, and I think we are moving closer to agreement. However, to make it clearer what I think - I am not endorsing looking at 'personal feelings' rather than commercial structures. I do think we need to start in the space between those things, especially in an economy which is becoming saturated by the affective.

— David Murakami Wood · Tue, Dec 18 2012 07:33:45

Certainly we can agree on that. My concern is that discussions of data rights often take for granted (and therefore endorse) the operational and commercial assumptions of these services.

— Ian Bogost · Tue, Dec 18 2012 07:35:03

I agree that data rights are only one framework for looking at this, yes, and normally they wouldn't be my framework. I'm also sympathic to some of your initial sarcasm: it isn't some kind of crisis every time Terms of Service are changed, and people can't expect services to be free. However, equally that doesn't mean that the other extreme of 'anything goes' from the service-provider's end is okay. And while I don't think the changes to the ToSs of Instagram itself is of anything like the same level of importance as many other things, it is another interesting little vignette of the ongoing working out of information relations, which are in their more general terms, rather important.

I've spent some time reflecting on what I've done w/ social media that works and that doesn't work, & now dedicate myself to sharing clues

— Howard Rheingold · Fri, May 04 2012 15:49:50

@hrheingold to much online learning follows the "digital facelift" model, do what has always been done just do it online

— David Parry · Fri, May 04 2012 15:55:50

@academicdave Told that co-learners can discover unique ways to learn together online they always do. Show example, then shut up & listen.

— Howard Rheingold · Fri, May 04 2012 15:51:53

@hrheingold I think that's they key, not trying to reproduce the in-class experience, but rather find what can be done online

— David Parry · Fri, May 04 2012 15:50:04

Some kinds of online learning accomplish things blended or strictly ftf learning can't. Like simultaneous participation fm Korea, Brazil

— Howard Rheingold · Fri, May 04 2012 15:46:00

The purely online class can have its own special kind of magic. Group mindmapping on a whiteboard by ppl all over the world, for example

— Howard Rheingold · Fri, May 04 2012 15:47:51

@rachelannyes Thanks, Rachel. There's real magic to it. As you experienced, though, group whiteboard mindmapping also has limitations.

— Howard Rheingold · Fri, May 04 2012 16:22:37

Facing a room full of physically co-present learners for hours each week is still a formidable, unpredictable, thrilling experience.

tweeps, if you look at @samplereality's tweet stream since faculty retreat ended yesterday, you see it's a netprov. one flows into other.

Dear @samplereality : mission accomplished, whatever it is. Twitter is truly more interesting with you in it.

I also REALLY don't like being used in someone's weird academic experiments like this. It doesn't feel good. @samplereality

@christateston Nah. @samplereality's tweets are so off the wall sometimes this series fits within those very nicely.

@footnotesrising How a problem? (Didn't follow latest hoaxprov.) Just seems in the nature of online relationships.@samplereality @occupymla

— Noel Jackson · Sat, Jan 26 2013 08:53:05

@footnotesrising OK-thanks for the clarification!(IMO: overlapping of events/diff relationships to the "performer" is a feature, not a bug.)

— Noel Jackson · Sat, Jan 26 2013 09:01:01

to clarify last tweet , "problem" is netprovers need to think carefully about impact on those who see fragments. @samplereality @occupmla

— Susan Garfinkel · Sat, Jan 26 2013 09:00:27

@footnotesrising @samplereality @occupymla @Netprov_RobWit argues netprovs need to be holographic: the whole in each tweet

— Mark C. Marino · Sat, Jan 26 2013 09:02:37

@footnotesrising But I suppose it also lends itself over time to a privilege of exhaustingly alert reflexive suspicion of all such hoaxes...

— Noel Jackson · Sat, Jan 26 2013 09:02:44

for me, i agree. MT @noeljackson: @footnotesrising IMO: overlapping of events/diff relationships to the "performer" is a feature, not a bug.
