Comment/Questions
I might argue that the "performing narrative" is a driving force behind the development of human expression through art: painting, dancing, sculpting, singing, activing, drawing, etc. It follows that if this narrative becomes more abstract and non-essential as social technology progresses, the arts must necessarily be affected. Accordingly, we should address some questions:
- What are the implications of expanding the non-essential narrative?
- Does Facebook help or hinder this expansion?
- What would a future of abstracted narrative look like?
- Are there certain forms of human expression/art that are immune to the effects of this changing narrative?
- How would we describe the current state of the Facebook narrative?
- Is there a mutually-exclusive "Facebook narrative" at all?
- What are the political ramifications of this?
