Case Study 7: e-mail
"Drew" e-mails Max, "I love it!" He continues to say the blogoshpere is too self-congratulatory. Isn't Max guilty of the same offence? How can "Drew" agree with someone he doesn't know to exist?
Blogs are constructed with some element of earnestness, resulting in the absurdity of an "intended audience," while suspending the discrepancy of web indentity and who the person of that identity might be outside of the web. In this hyper-real state, this project attempts to intensify this sense of strangeness. This precarious situation can elevate both the sense of play and danger. Who is taking it serious? Who isn't? And most importantly, how can that be determined?
