It\u2019s probably, if we\u2019re being honest, just another form of colonialism. Molly McHugh writes, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/theringer.com\/instagram-geotagging-ruining-parks-f65b529d5e28#.ws7bl0rt1\" target=\"_blank\">Social media and Instagram did not invent discovery of beautiful outdoor spaces\u200a\u2014\u200abut they have become a curator-friendly guide to collecting them<\/a> \u2026 Manifest Destiny is defined by the nation\u2019s westward territorial expansion, but it\u2019s also a philosophy about the need to conquer, to discover. What happens when social media increases the rate of outdoor discovery? How long until every corner of the planet has been Instagrammed and geotagged?\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Time was, you could stay home and explore the world from your living room\u2014no geotagging required. Before the Internet came around and made modems boring, there were Bulletin Board Systems, an early form of PC-to-PC communication with all the thrill and adventure of ham radio. Benj Edwards writes, \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/technology\/archive\/2016\/11\/the-lost-civilization-of-dial-up-bulletin-board-systems\/506465\/?utm_source=atltw\" target=\"_blank\">BBSes once numbered in the tens of thousands in North America<\/a>. These mostly text-based, hobbyist-run services played a huge part in the online landscape of the 1980s and \u201990s. Anyone with a modem and a home computer could dial-in, often for free, and interact with other callers in their area code \u2026 To call a BBS was to visit the private residence of a fellow computer fan electronically. BBS hosts had converted a PC\u2014often their only PC\u2014into a digital playground for strangers\u2019 amusement.\u201d\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Our managing editor, Nicole Rudick, talked to the artist Ben Jones about the magical qualities of line drawings and \u201cvisual-language fuckery\u201d: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/hyperallergic.com\/335529\/lines-of-thought-an-interview-with-ben-jones\/\" target=\"_blank\">As a painter, I\u2019m constantly chasing that magical, ethereal line or stroke or gesture that is half muscle memory or trance action<\/a>. You get a lot of that with handwriting and with quick sketching. I\u2019ve fabricated ladders and furniture and video installations that take months of concepting the installation and executing the animation. This is something entirely different\u2014it\u2019s a one-to-one connection with an idea or a drawing or a mark. There\u2019s a narrative to a lot of these pieces and a linear way to think about them, but then we also get to think about comics and about the formal aspects of comics, because comics aren\u2019t just linear storytelling and gags. There is a nuanced, visual-language fuckery that I think is important.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Flaubert\u2019s handwritten book of travel notes\u2014so littered with cross outs and corrections that some pages resemble graph paper\u2014is up for auction in Paris. The notes come from a time when Flaubert was \u201cwalking in Brittany,\u201d though early reports have not confirmed whether he wrote literally as he was walking, which would account for the high volume of cross-outs and mistakes. A French auctioneer said, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/books\/2016\/nov\/07\/manuscript-gustave-flaubert-messy-search-for-perfection-auction\" target=\"_blank\">When you read this book you are in [Flaubert\u2019s] atelier looking over his shoulder, seeing the process of creation, the search for perfection<\/a> \u2026 We can see that Flaubert was a man for whom writing was a difficult process; he was perpetually unsatisfied with what he had done, as is clear from all the scratching out and rewriting. This book is a direct contrast to his letters, where it is rare to find a single error.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>In Shanghai, Jiayang Fan met with Liu Yiqian, a Chinese billionaire whose new Long Museum aims to upend the art world, mostly through sheer bluster and purchasing power: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/magazine\/2016\/11\/07\/the-emperors-new-museum\" target=\"_blank\">Liu\u2019s extravagant hobby is the subject of considerable fascination in China, and is interpreted variously as a financial investment, a publicity stunt, a patriotic bid for the world\u2019s attention, and an act of pure ostentation<\/a> \u2026 \u2018If a Westerner bought these Western masterpieces, people would think it was very normal,\u2019 he told me. \u2018But, because they were bought by an Asian, and not just a Japanese but a Chinese person\u2014\u2019 He looked up, his eyes full of impish pride. \u2018After all, isn\u2019t that why you are here?\u2019 \u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Instagrammers: think before you geotag.
