Right now, the internet is rallying to try so save itself from the whims of ISP's. The main battleground is appropriately social media: Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram. The intersection of social media, bots, and debate embodies, in part, what is meant by network aesthetics (Jagoda). The project itself will also aim to be post-media by engaging multiple platforms and by only having the loosest of narratives.
I will compile bot tweets/statuses/comments in favor of repealing net neutrality and put them against people speaking in favor of net neutrality. This will create a sort of "dialogue" between the mindless bot and the real people who depend on the internet remaining open and balanced (which is most everyone now). I could also integrate videos of people presenting non-traditional ideas to show how essential the internet has become to free speech. The piece could then extend into whether internet access is a human right in the 21st century. I don't know if traditional philosophy is equipped to deal with this question yet but I believe internet users certainly are.
If I could find enough relevant content it would be neat to make the project feature-length, perhaps I could find videos, streams, and comments to run together. I will likely use Adobe Premiere and possibly After Effects to get it just right.
