it is a mystery to me how politicians can repeat the same stump speech hundreds and hundreds of times, i can barely tell the same story to 3 different friends w/o getting a little self conscious

10/10 would recommend
@ZeroSpaceNYC—definitely more than a photo opp. it’s a trippy blend of participatory improv, dance show, immersive art, community organizing, and puzzle video game but IRL feels like being inside a Ted Chiang story. or a hybrid of Sleep No More + Meow WolfShow this threadThanks.

a generational divide that i’m pretty sure exists is millennials hold their phone up and pose for snapchat selfies, kids take the pic in whatever the hell position they’re already in and write texts on top of their awkward angle face like it’s background wallpaper

current fav genre of tiktok is people trying to share what it feels like to be inside their heads, externalizing thought processes that are otherwise invisible from the outside e.g. this guy shows how video games have affected his everyday perceptual experiencepic.twitter.com/9LiyI6qlT0

interesting idea from
@atarrant: a group chat for collaborators where posts appear in the thread without any attribution. might foster a different mindset — the goal of participating in the convo is to create a cool artifact together, not flex your smarts/interestingnessShow this threadThanks.

have you seen any examples of new-ish fictional worlds bleeding into mainstream politics/culture? a few on my radar - pro choice activists dressed as handmaids - POTUS using GoT aesthetics - flashmob doing The OA movements at Trump hotel - Star Wars themed in flight safety vidspic.twitter.com/p7YRaW3p2i

there’s a lot of precedent for the kind of experimentation that’s happening in digital spaces—cosplay, LARP, improv, drag, to name a few. i’m curious to see how ideas about identity evolve as online/offline blend together and kids start challenging the norms of 2010s social media

this post pairs well with MIT Tech Review’s new cover. from alt twitter to finstas to private snap stories, new media is allowing ppl to incubate new models of identity. these experiments can seem trivial but they’re an important psychological survival strategy for the info agepic.twitter.com/GpdeFeyr5f
