flickr heißt jetzt subvertr: Endlich Konkurrenz für die Foto-Community. Das italienische “imaginäre Kunstkollektiv” Les Liens Invisibles um Clemente Pestelli und Gionatan Quintini steckt hinter diesem Fake. “The project is based on the observation that our cultural systems are not created by the whole community, but rather are defined by a much smaller “semiotic elite” within processes based on marketing and the desire for profit. The idea is to take these symbols and reassign them new meaning, to invert the traditional one-way relationship of symbol-consuming to symbol-creative. The hope is that this inversion will allow users to create new cultural contexts for well-known symbols and to “regain” symbols that belong to the “collective media imaginary”. (1) Mal schauen wie schnell Yahoo/flickr seine Abmahnungen rausschickt… Auf jeden Fall hätte das Projekt Potential eine große, subversive Culture Jammer-Community zu werden… Oder gibt´s die schon?
