Yes you read correctly I, Lauren O’Day, am going to make a world record attempt! Of what exactly I don’t know but time next year I WILL be in that book. In order to gain acknowledgement for my new found knowledge/ skill I will attempt the ultimate challenge for the weird and wonderful by being the best in the world at it. I think what it all leads back to is the desire for fame.
Give me some credit.
Acknowledgement
Find a place in history
Personal endeavour to a useless extent.
Commodification of aspiration.
Exposure = value and worth
How do we give something value – proximity changes with knowledge – authenticity = value – link to Bejamin – reproduction of feeling? Can this have relivance?
‘It’s a nice piece of work. Didn’t see it though.’
Self documentation. – aura/ presence technology disrupts presence?
Ritualistic quality of such an event- society needs to re-enact ritual to gain purpose.
Links to Barthes and jean Baudrillard? Consumption more important than production. Obtaining of value.
OK GETTING A LITTLE OUT OF HAND HERE SHALL POST THIS ONE THEN COME BACK TO INDIVIDAUL POINTS AND THERE RELEVANCE IN LATER BLOGS.
