many of the United States presidential debates this year have been sponsored by tech companies, and facebook likes, twitter hashtags, and google search trends are slowly replacing increasingly ineffective polling as a means of judging where-things-are-at.
no campaign is more effectively tapping into new media and network culture than the one to get people #feelingthebern.
it has been argued that the massive bombarding of social media with bernie-related memes has been a big part of his success.
there is a long history of political art being peripheralized by a critical system that favors ambiguity, and so we at peripheral forms want to celebrate this marginalized realm of creative expression.
therefore we are celebrating this year's supertuesday by inviting people to make and/or share premade digital images/videos that celebrate, criticize, participate in, or otherwise reflect upon Bernie Sanders and his crowdsourced candidacy.
images/videos can be posted directly to this page (https://www.facebook.com/events/187588768274149/) or emailed to: submissions@peripheralforms.com
all images/videos in this event can be freely shared by anyone.
