Description
Summary:Some users of the Instagram platform, seen as a digital space for self-presentation, try to become kind of galerists when they regularly feed the platform with photographic images. The economy of the attention born with the rise of the internet, promotes this logic of producing some content to be shared in between users. Some users grow this game further by diverting it in their favor and pushing the metaphor of becoming a kind “galerist” to its merchant term: well developed spaces allow them to add value to the skills, behaviors they display in this space and to give perspectives on culture and the collected images. For some of them, the will to defend a certain way to look at the photographic images makes them pick up the logic of real art galleries, playing as if they were new intermediaries between discoverers and creators, artists and audiences to convince of the legitimacy of mobile photography and of Instagram as a good communication tool for this sole purpose.
