How Soliciting Audience Participation is Imperative for Directing Enthusiastic Attention to an Event – Tanja Hollander In a media landscape that been overwhelmed by constant digital chatter and distraction, Hollander has taken her project, which illustrates the role of social media in contemporary interpersonal relationships, directly to its audience and participants. In doing so, she has built into the final product room for artist-to-audience participation with her audience. The result has been the creation of an engaged and enthusiastic support base that transcends the power that derives from the superficiality of Facebook likes while simultaneously cultivating these connections for when such support is helpful and important.
