<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Platform 10: Live Feed confronts a central paradox: the "live feeds" of our lives are exponentially more mediated than the analog forms of documentation they are so quickly replacing and erasing. This fact, in combination with the rapid manipulability endemic to all electronic media, now presents us, its users, with radically new conditions of knowledge and imagination. Under these conditions, real-time platforms for meaningful self-expression and fictionalization are inextricably tied to the novel consequences--political, ethical, epistemological--of a world in which distortion, simulation, and manipulation are often indistinguishable from their opposite. <br> Platform 10: Live Feed is a document of images presented in reverse chronological order from July 2017 to August 2016. Pulled from a crowd-sourced database of 117,518 available files, this "live feed" of the institution samples images from students, faculty, and staff alike, revealing the fluidity between the place, production, and people of the Harvard University Graduate School of Design.<br> With Contributions of Mohsen Mostafavi, Dean and Alexander and Victoria Wiley Professor of Design at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Every year I've seen something different (Platform 8 from 2016, with its dictionary-like format, stands out from the others), including the latest - edited by Jon Lott from PARA-Project and John May of MILLIØNS, with design by Pentagram - where format is key. Instead of pagination, the book is page after page of numbered photos - from 727 to 001 - followed by chronological captions to each and every photo, but in reverse order of their visual presentation. As the book's subtitle conveys, it's like a digital feed of the school's day-to-day activities jumped to the page. Remarkably, the editors started with exactly 117,518 photos culled from a crowd-sourced database and somehow managed to narrow those down to the final number." --A Daily Dose of Architecture<br>
