Five Theses for a Thesis is an ongoing effort that engages with multiple platforms by delivering the “same” content, my five theses, in a variety of ways. Each instance seeks to be attuned to the differences in the platform or distribution channel. For instance, the Five Theses posted on Imgur take the form of the Advice animals meme, posted to Spotify the first word in the title of each track forms the each thesis sentence, Pirate Pad is a fully editable text that anyone can alter, anyone with a link to the Google doc can comment, the thesis have been broken up into independent tweets on Twitter, etc. The form and content adjust themselves to fit the space of the distribution channel, and from a comparative standpoint comment upon it.
