Greatest Immunity
From March 22, 2006 | Permalink
Congratulations to Alex for winning the Web 3.0 Standardized Suit of Immunity. This is the most powerful and important immunity in the game, because the holder of this immunity determines who will join him/her in the final two. No one can vote for Alex, and since you can't vote for yourself, Tim and Morgan can only vote for Zoe, and vice versa. Who will Alex choose? We'll find out Thursday morning!
Determining immunity was no easy task. Special thanks to our final guest judge, Lauren Cornell, the Executive Director of Rhizome.org, an online platform for the global new media art community. Before Rhizome, Lauren worked in the Andy Warhol Film Project at the Whitney Museum, served as Executive Director of Ocularis, a non-profit media arts organization based in Brooklyn and also worked as a youth media educator and organizer, at Global Action Project and T.R.U.C.E. Her writing on contemporary art, experimental film and new media has been published in Time Out New York, Nylon, Synoptique, and exhibition catalogues. And she has curated at venues including The Contemporary Center for Art Warsaw, The Liverpool Biennial, The Kitchen and The Institute of Contemporary Art London.
She is one of the most amazing people we have ever met in real/virtual life and has some great insight about challenge six:
Zoe knows that every American wants to talk about adolescence. And she exploited this common desire through her blog, which seems to have a dedicated fanbase, and by placing fliers in areas where the populations were recently teenage (NYU, the East Village). She also seemed to exploit every public outlet she could think of to get the word out, and even dangerously exposed herself in the office as a wannabe Ultimate Blogger. This kind of relentless self-exposure is a real blogging strong point. Her question was specific, and hits on something everyone wants to share.
Tim and Morgan put in a good days work, and amassed a variety of funny stories in the meantime. But I'm not convinced their strategy would reach people who didn't already know they were internet-famous, and their call to content seemed a bit uninspired.
Thank you so much to Lauren for her analysis! Now the e-lives of Zoe and Tim and Morgan hang in the balance, and it's up to Alex who he will square off with in the final round to go head to head for the $1000 prize package.
