Relational revolution

April 22, 2007

In playing around with Twitter and Jaiku, I can’t help but think that there’s a relational revolution going on. People are craving relationship and finding new ways of connecting with people, even building community with people they’ve never met.

There are so many ways of doing that: on MySpace connecting with people, on Twitter keeping in touch with what people we know are up to, and likewise on Jaiku and Groovr. Then there’s blogs like Wordpress and LiveJournal and Tumblr where we can put out ideas and stimulate dicussion and connection. And then there’s so many comunity building tools, from connecting with people about books at LibraryThing, or comparing notes on restaurants at Menuism or comparing travel notes at TravelPod or TripAdvisor.

That’s the technology world, impacting relationships and developing communities around the world.

And then there’s relational impacts in the art world. There’s a whole area of art called "relational aesthetics" where art (sculpture, drama, music, and anything else artistic) is developing to involve participation by people who would be considered observers in traditional art.

It’s all about connecting with people, a relational revolution.
