My desktop wallpaper is a slideshow of 57 images I have saved in a folder, almost entirely composed of images I have downloaded from the Internet. The slideshow spends 1 minute on every image. Here, I’ve compressed 57 minutes of slideshow into a instantly digestible jpg– sized to have 26 iterations when tiled as a wallpaper to account for the 26 loops the slideshow would go through in one 24 hour period– thus saving myself 1482 minutes a day.
johdann asked: I thought it was really interesting what you said about continuously scrolling tumblr as fast as possible because I catch myself doing exactly the same thing. Not all of the time, but I'll get on tumblr and kind of wade through the bullshit only taking the time to absorb the things I deem important. I guess the most peculiar part is that I've curated the whole thing and continue to look at things that aren't really relevant to me.
That’s a really interesting factor I hadn’t considered: that everything that shows up on someone’s dashboard is there by their own choosing. That sort of willful-but-not-willful submission of self is captivating— what you’ll willfully (or blissfully ignorantly) impose upon yourself. It’s like if I were to go back onto your Facebook Timeline and draw attention to a status update from 2007, your immediate reaction might be one of someone whose privacy was invaded. But I didn’t invade your privacy at all, you put it online for everyone to access, including Facebook the corporation and the companies to which it sells your data.
I wonder where that Internet masochism comes from. It’s kind of hilarious, actually, that we will blatantly impose shitty situations on ourselves and still get outraged when the terms and conditions are acted upon.
