[Commlist] New Book - Instafame: Graffiti and Street Art in the Instagram Era

Intellect is delighted to announce that /Instafame: 
<https://www.intellectbooks.com/instafame>//Graffiti and Street Art in 
the Instagram Era <https://www.intellectbooks.com/instafame> /by Lachlan 
MacDowall is now available.

Instafame charts the impact of Instagram – one of the world’s most 
popular social media platforms – on visual culture in the decade since 
its launch. The book traces the intuitive connections between graffiti, 
street art and Instagram, arguing that social media’s unending battle 
for viewers’ attention is closely aligned with the eye-catching ethos of 
unsanctioned public art. Beginning with the observation that the scroll 
of images on a sideways phone screen resembles graffiti seen through the 
windows of a moving train, MacDowall moves outward to give us a 
wide-ranging look at how Instagram has already effected a dramatic shift 
in the making and viewing of both graffiti and street art. Using more 
than 23 million pieces of public data, Instafame is the most 
comprehensive study of the intertwined global fields of graffiti and 
street art to date, making visible its key players, institutions and 
patterns of taste.
