Social Media and its influence

There's a new newspaper on Wall Street, and its targeting a very different demographic than the classic one. The Occupied Wall Street Journal has raised about 54,000 using crowdfunding platform Kickstarter.

Most people, especially those we might consider to be technophobes, would scoff at the notion of social media as art.

Yet, if we define art as self-expression, posting is the new painting. Years ago, an artist would create a work of art–be it a painting, a story, a sculpture, or any other medium of self-expression–but find great difficulty in distributing that art.

Now, with the advent of social media, production and promotion are one in the same.
