GMU:Critical VR Lab I/L.-E. Kuehr: Difference between revisions

While there is a lot of talk about the obscure, dark or funny places in the internet, I wanted to shine light on places in the internet, where people talk about serious topics, search for genuine advice or motivation. Furthermore I want to explore the possibilities of analysing the spaces using word embeddings and presenting it in a way that would reflect the feeling that these communities convey.

The communities I am talking about are various subreddits that all have one thing in common and that is that by partaking or reading the discussions one does feel a little bit of internet sentimentality while at the same time beeing fully aware that most of what is written there are empty phrases, words that are depraved of their meaning, thus loosing their meaning and only gaining a new one by the context they are presented in.

And while that was an empty phrase as well, you are invited to walk the endless plaines of ''The Internet is a calm and soothing place'' and explore the various accumulations of words and letters that form the space of serious internet conversations.
