Goodreads.ca (2004-2009)

Goodreads was not an art project when `art` is defined as being something useless.

Goodreads was an art project when it took up creative energy. Sometimes I'd said I was a curator of ideas, the gallery is the web, the opening was at your inbox. Othertimes, I was a freelance editor working ten-years ahead of the pack, a personal aggregator of content.

Goodreads was a soapbox by which I tried to inject unheard, anonymous conversation with more intelligence than is offered from the news media, which could only appear intelligent when the overall picture emerges from a link collection. With Goodreads I also tried to provide a resource for curious searchers to find what they might be looking for by republishing content or posting things on the web for the first time.
