Reading 3: Site-Specifics and Media Artist

In "Site-specifics," there was a phrase underlined reading, "exchanges between the work of art and the places in which its meaning are defined." Right when I read that, it made me think of this one photographer (don't remember the name) took pictures of fabrics that people have stained after their deaths of either suicide, murder, or sickness. From looking at each photo, you can receive a sense of a story or a happening that has taking place on that specific fabric.

As I read "Locative-Media Artists..." the idea of of having collective information on the fly in the near future could change our society as a whole. For people to be able to have this technology at their expense would probably have us glued to our phones even more then we are right now. Information would own our lives where ever we go.

On the subject of Social Authoring, I feel that movement is already in the process of becoming a reality. I wouldn't be surprised if locational advertisement already exist, whether it's to promote a store or an aspiring musician. I remember recalling a commercial of a singer standing on top of a building, and it would clip to people in the streets downloading a song of his and listening to hit. This quality can be really useful to music lovers, seekers, and bands to help get their music out there.
