ham$ta is here.

After more usertests and refining the technology (converting it to angular and learning a lot along the way about the MEAN stack) and adding more features - periscope-like hearts, data visualization and YouTube comments (among other things) - to really give a real glimpse into social media interface and culture -, ham$ta is finally online; hamsta.us. Just like pplkpr I tried to make a teaser trailer for the product that helps seeing this whole product in a more ironic way, understanding the criticality of it more.

The next steps include finishing the about section of the website and making the web socket connection (technology behind ham$ta) more stable for real world usage. Read the summary of my final presentation here. See that presentation here (be advised, big files, incl. videos).

Precedent: pplkpr

pplkpr, A precedent that came to my attention because of the ambiguity of it, the uncertainty after seeing the the teaser of "is this real?".

pplkpr from Lauren McCarthy on Vimeo.

I really like this uncertainty, because it shows that the concept is so close to reality, that it's not at all futuristic or far away from implementation that we can easily judge it as speculative design. But it's rather something you think already exists or could exist. However the whole point of it is the exploration and experimentation and asking through making the product: Do we really want to go in that direction? Do we really want that? This is my goal for ham$ta, too.

Introducing: ham$ta

For actually several reasons I decided to rename this project and this product ham$ta.

hamsters eat and eat and eat (or at least they put things in their mouth) - we consume and consume and consume

hamsters have a hamster wheel, a loop and a repetition of actions, this I see in our consumption patterns (filter bubble, it's always the same/similar content), but also in the prosumers (those YouTubers) as they are in a production loop, out of which they can not escape or they will loose their viewers

(thanks you David Carroll) you can call these YouTubers ham(s), a colloquial way to say she/he is an actor, a show-off, is someone who likes attention

and of course there is the word sta/star in the name ham$ta

Loops of Consumerism + Consumption

Related to iAd. YouAd. WeAd. (working title) the following...

Our (the US) problem is not that we use too much stuff, but we use more than our share. We have 5% of the world’s population, but we’re using 30% of the world's resources and creating 30% of the world’s waste. If everybody consumed at US rates, we would need 3 to 5 planets. And you know what, we’ve only got 1! - Story of Stuff by Annie Leonard (2007)

Also an interesting thought in this documentary regarding: the endless work-watch-spend-treadmill, which basically that work so much, that when we come home and are exhausted, want to relax and watch tv, but on there we are bombarded by advertising that tells us that what we have sucks or that “we suck” and so we need to buy the “stuff” that we see to feel better, but then we have to work more to afford the things we buy, then we are exhausted, watch tv, buy, work, watch, buy again and so on and so forth. And endless loop.

Another loop, one could say is the loop of constantly creating to generate more likes or even chasing after fame in social media (incl. YouTube). Related to this:

And of course Generation Like on Frontline by Douglas Rushkoff (also author of Program or be programmed - very interesting, as well). Here an excerpt.

Among other things, he talks openly about brand sponsorship

The second when the brand is like "We trust your judgement", I'm just like "Oh my god, you're the best thing ever." And I'm ten times more likely to like give a real, good, genuine integration.

And the interviewer directly asks him about his adience of 12-year-olds. He replies that he is surprised they can always tell if a YouTube is "pushing something".
