Connect to reading
According to reading, Flickr as a platform for shared
experience and community buildings, the motto conjures up
images of active communities who upload, download and
comment on pictures and, by doing so, turn their activity
into a collective experience, and doing experience sharing,
photos are indeed the most popular and convenient media
we use to translate daily happenings and tell life stories.
However, Nancy Van House who conducted in depth
interviews with Flickr users, her research shows that
people described their Flickr collections as transitory,
ephemeral, throwaway, a stream, not an archive. Schmids
project of other peoples photography is that he collected
photos from different Flickr users account no matter they
are still active or wasted for a long time. After his reclassify,
he posts his works on Flickr and share with others. In some
extents, he inheritance the photo of others shooting.

"I employ traditional photographic techniques and


methods of appropriation, extraction, multiple
production, and intervention, to explore how we, as
a culture, make and use images.
In much of my work I address how differently an
image functions on the internet than in physical
time/space, the shifts in meaning around the subject
depicted in the image in both contexts, and what
happens to the image's perceived value when
transcribed from web-based to print-based media."

collaboration and media sharing

Web, making it accessible, and commercialising it
for the first time.
