Popping in with an idea for a short post here, because I've been absolutely transfixed with this YouTube series about internet personality Christine/Christian Weston Chandler, AKA "Chris Chan."
Chandler lives their live like a constant television show: narrating things like a TV host, filming every waking moment, and taking cultural lessons from Family Guy. The fascination around their habits and lifestyle has been manifest as a case study for a lot of internet phenomena, but more than a child of video games and YouTube, Chris Chan shows just how much television has shaped how people can think and perceive. Maybe the television and internet eras really are a continuous aesthetic and philosophical epoch, and only in the future will we be able to make sense of it all.
