Chapter 12: Multiple materiality across distributed social media
* Social Media sites as matter, which is able to possess agency.
* Also, Social Media sites as places for the multimaterial to live in and intra-act with both the human users (and viewers) and among the sites themselves.
This chapter reminded me of an old -very strange- anime series called Serial Experiments Lain, where the internet (called the Wired in the show) is an ever-changing space that at the same time changes the shape of its users constantly. The director, years before the rise of the web 2.0, installs the idea of the internet (and what seems to resemble social media) as a space with an agency of its own (it even materializes several times through the show), and which could even give birth to a human (or human-like) being, as we find out by the end of the show, when the protagonist decides to reset herself to be reborn.
