A great article that talks about online communities and how they relate to relational aesthetics.
What Relational Aesthetics can learn from 4Chan.

Unit Proposal - Carla Adams
This body of work started as a call out that I posted on the internet to find an online relationship. My aim was to use a relationship with a stranger to examine the tension between the notions of private and public, especially in the context of online communication.
As the project developed, my interest shifted away from the relationship and I
am currently more interested in how the intrinsic nature of the Internet means that
it can be described using many contradictions. It is anonymous but
personal, individual but collective, everywhere but nowhere,
contained yet uncontrollable. Clean yet dirty.
My current studio project
examines the ways in which Internet users communicate with one
another and how the context of this communication changes when
removed from the digital platform. I will be collecting user-generated text from various
online sources and exploring how I can change the reading by placing
it into a different context. User generated text may refer to
comments, status updates, blog posts, memes, fan fiction, forums
posts or personals ads that internet users write and post online.
For this Media Art unit, I aim to create a body of work that compliments my studio work but explores the general notion of user-generated text in a slightly different way.
