This class on becoming famous on the internet bases the entire grading results on an algorythm. There is also a write up about it in the TIMES here. Great idea, creative and funny too!

The video above includes footage from the Ours:Democracy in the Age of Branding exhibition which included my filmThe Ottawa River. I don’t know where the issue lies but I still think it was a shame that the selected artists for Rebranding Acts were not credited on the exhibition ‘Participants’ page. We were lumped under the term ‘Wooloo Productions’ in the ‘Online’ section of the show. Reflecting on the point of the above course I think it could have helped our Online Identity/Online Fame/Digital Identity if we had been individually credited within the page ‘Complete List of Participants’, or maybe just listed on the Wooloo Productions page here. In fact now that I re-read the The Wooloo Production page it does not mention that the selection was juried… you have to further click on to figure this out.

So in the spirit of bringing attention to the Rebranding Act Artists + Wooloo + Our:Democracy in the Age of Branding I’m combining their names and a link to their work in this post. Does this bump up the ‘famo score’ in the Famotron?

I’ve checked the other credited ‘Online’ participants and they seem to feature on the ‘Complete Participants’ page, but if you weren’t and I have missed you let me know and I will happily add you to the list below.
