2nd Mission Proposal

Since the onslaught of information directed at spectators/audiences/consumers heightened it's rate of attack--arguably at the beginning of the 20th century--the notion of "community" has been changing. As if the age of mechanical reproduction did not affect the masses in never-before seen ways, memeplexic online communities are now as real as physical communities of human beings, if not more.

Fragmented self expression is a requirement to belong to these communities: name, location, interests, etc. People are connecting through any number of online communities, where they share music, photos, videos, often created by the members themselves. Meanwhile, entire websites are devoted to user generated content.
