Abstract

This thesis examines three projects that integrate the Internet and mobile technology with public art works: You Are Beautiful, The Bubble Project and Yellow Arrow. I argue that these projects operate through collaborative authorship and narrative distribution in reaction to a public sphere that has become increasingly unsupportive of interpersonal public discourse. I parallel these projects with recent technocultural developments, such as blogging, wikis and copyleft organizations like Creative Commons to assert that these methods are part of a larger movement that uses collaborative authorship and narrative distribution to stimulate creative exchange.
