Kismet 4 Social Media

Three examples of how I like to approach social media. I don't know what irritates me more, Instagram's cookie cutter format or the artists who capitulate to it. I keep asking myself, WWMRD? What would Man Ray do? I'm not saying that what follows below are up to this standard, but it's a standard that I aspire to. It's all an about a mix of kismet, being alert to special encounters, stretching the parameters of media and simply having fun, adventure with it all. Two contemporary exemplars that immediately come to mind: Raymond Pettibon's Twitter channel and Dennis Cooper's weblog.

Enough said about that. Three examples follow.
