Circulation
As stated in my previous wiki post, I plan to incorporate the impermanence of digital media aspect of my midterm project in my final project as well. This time I plan to incorporate more social media into the project, and work on the impermanence aspect in real time. I hope to do this by editing captions for posts or pictures on a social media platform such as Instagram or Facebook. I think a Twitter post would be most convenient to edit based on the fast-paced nature of the platform, but editing Twitter posts isn’t an option. Since the project is about impermanence of digital media, I could technically figure out a way to record deletion of the posts, but my idea is based more on the ability to edit content after already having published it. I plan to incorporate newspaper articles, AP style, or some form of journalism into the project, as the option to edit online articles but not print articles that are already circulating in the physical world. In terms of supplies, I will be compiling the project into a print form that has gone back and forth between digital and physical edits, with the end result being posted on a site for self-publishing.
