Composing Spaces
I offer a recent Farktography contest on images of the written word. The thumbnail links to a Flickr slideshow by AFH3, who has a nice collection of images of signs and words. I really like the way that Fark and Flickr have carved out alternative composing spaces. On one level, there are the many new modes being practiced through photography sharing and doctoring contests. There are caption contests, audio editing contests, and video editing contests. Not much sanctioned by the academy in all of this either--in fact, much here to offend the academic sensibilities.
Then, there are composing spaces on another level, like the collection of links in this post--my writing is their writing. This is new media composition.
