Pierre (22.01): I'm curious if you would make a distinction between the feed and the profile page, in the sense that artists could publish/document their work on Instagram under different modalities. Does the status of documentation change whether it appears in the users' feeds (flattened in the middle of other content), users' reels (temporary, signalling an event) or the artists' profile (more in the direction of traditional documentation).
Additionally, what are the values according to which the content can be given a new status? Is it only numbers of followers (reminds me of Constant Dullaart's work on 100.000 followers for everyone)
I'm interested in where these archives exist and the conditions that users agree to in order to create them, and how that is similar or different to earlier methods. And maybe how they become active or used in other contexts i.e. Meta using posts to train large language models (without any further consent, but as part of the conditions of the platform) --Mateus (talk) 15:18, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
I also wonder what you make of those who use these feeds as a canvas for an art project themselves. Many artists use separate instagram pages as a stage to host projects so to speak and perhaps this could also be interesting to look at? - Kendal
How does this relate to artists using the curation of instagram (and other platforms) as performance? An example could be Ada Ada Ada's project "in transitu", where she's exploring how the gender recognition models see her gender and when Instagram will censor her niples and thus see her as female (female nipples are not allowed on instagram)? In this way, it also relates critically to instagram as an institution hosting and exhibiting her art. (Søren)
