Using the theme of Discovery to create an interesting sampler for GF Smith Papers.
The discovery of choice was The Listening Post, which is a ‘dynamic portrait’ of online communication, displaying uncensored fragments of text, sampled in real-time, from public internet chat rooms and bulletin boards created by artists Mark Hansen and Ben Rubin.
