Did you like "King of Scars"? 👑 ° No spoilers here, but I must admit that I didn't like that book as I thought I would: I didn't appreciate how much Nikolai suddenly thinks only about Zoya AND I didn't appreciate the plot twist at the end.🙈 ° That character should have stayed dead, why did Leigh Bardugo had to bring him back? 😩 ° I'm afraid I won't like next book either. 😥 ° The beautiful candle in the picture is a creation by @cozycornercandles. ❤️ ° ° #impopularopinion #kingofscars #nikolailantsov #LeighBardugo #bookstagramfeature #lovetoread #readingtime #whattoread #bookworld #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookishgirl #bookcommunity #booklife #booknerd #igreads #lovetoread #readingaddict #bibliophile #bookrecommendation https://www.instagram.com/p/B7qzCAiogOw/?igshid=qwxi94i4ep3k

Network Effect

I have to say that I struggled a bit with this one as I couldn’t really understand what is the point. if I was in a contemporary art museum I would be very fascinated by this art piece, but being it’s online presence confuses me. 

On the “about” page they explain that the viewing window is limited to around seven minutes, according to the average life expectancy in the viewer’s country, but I hardly believe someone would go back the next day. Have you?

According to them,  the project mirrors the experience of browsing the web — full of tantalizing potential, but ultimately empty of life. Which I get, and I also enjoy the way they found to criticise it, but then again, I don’t think this should be a website, it should be a museum piece, in my very non relevant opinion...

The experience does make you very uncomfortable, and while I enjoy a lot the looks (great design) it didn’t make me feel a voyeur, the data was clearly very irrelevant (even though it took me some clicks to decide that) and the sound was annoying. 

I understand that they chose to make this a website as the medium might seem relevant for their internet criticism, but i guess context matters, and it would be better contextualised in a museum #impopularopinion.
