Context story-snapshots (Instagram , Cowbird, Twitter, YouTube and Flickr )
One of the main characteristics of the new internet is its potential for aggregation of related content as “data” streams with the use of hashtags, tags and RSS feeds.
We propose for this week to explore the storytelling potential of a stream of still images, texts and hashtags for conveying a sense place, site, and mundane in relationship with our bodies.
This investigation is situated as a counterpoint with the Screentest, where we explored the relationship of our still bodies in front of a camera as way of “arriving” and convey a sense of presence.
In Story-snapshots we propose to use streams of snapshots (still images), 15 seconds videos (short), hashtags, short texts of 140 characters (tweets), images and poems as “slices” of reality about the context that you inhabit, and where you move about.
You may use smart phones, digital cameras and/or computers to post a stream of text, photos, short videos and #hashtags about your context and everyday activities. You may include reflections and reactions to the experience in the lab and the other activities.
Include the #tag: #metaacademy in Twitter, Instagram and/or Flickr among your tags.
Use any of these platforms to create your stream:
Instagram is an online photo-sharing, video-sharing and social networking service that enables its users to take pictures and videos, apply digital filters to them, and share them on a variety of social networking services, such as Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Flickr.[5] A distinctive feature is that it confines photos to a square shape, similar to Kodak Instamatic and Polaroid images, in contrast to the 16:9 aspect ratio now typically used by mobile device cameras. You need a smartphone (iphone or android) and download the instagram app.
Twitter is an online social networking service and microblogging service that enables its users to send and read text-based messages of up to 140 characters, known as "tweets". You can use web and smartphones.
Flickr is a popular website for users to share and embed personal photographs, and effectively an online community, the service is widely used by photo researchers and by bloggers to host images that they embed in blogs and social media. For web and smartphones.
Combining images, text (stories) and sound:
Cowbird is a community of storytellers. We build the world’s simplest and most beautiful storytelling tools, and we offer them for free to anyone who wishes to use them. When you tell stories on Cowbird, we automatically find connections between your life and the lives of others, forming a vast, interconnected ecosystem, in which we all take part.
Of course... you may use YouTube to create short videos of your context also tag them with metaacademy
If you use Cowbird you can post the url of your Cowbird story as a comment in this thread and also use the share button and select “twitter”. Remember always add the tag #metacademy
You can use share and use embedding with cowbird.
This material will be used for the Week 3.
All our stream will be aggregated here:

Your Tags & suggested tags for aggregation( Callforproposals, roomforrent, joboffers, jobrequest, auditions, serachforcollaborators, searchforadvise):
Cool Jessica! How did you do the cowbird and instagram collage?
Hi Sue! I used Pic Stich, an app on my iPhone to create the collage on Cowbird. As for Instagram, I think that because before today I only had 2 photos on there, Instagram it just pulled all of the ones I took for this project into a collage by itself.
Yeah, it's downloading now. Thank you! Jessica.

WE LIVE WITHIN AN UNSTABLE LANDSCAPE
This is a social networking website connecting people concerned about innovation and experimentation on art, dance, embodiment, cognition, science, networks, post-humanism, media and the unstable landscape of contemporary culture and life.
We are in a transitional phase and refocusing the network with a broader interdisciplinary framework. It will reflect a contemporary community interacting and embedded unstablelandscape.
