Notes on Hashtag Architecture

Note 1: The internet is no longer an extraneous, opti onal playground for the dissemination of informati on, but rather the progenitor of data including imagery, narratives, and positions. This warrants new modes of conceptualizing the space of the web, which push through the outdated skeuomorphic representations established early in its history. From an architectural point of view, internet space (meaning browsers and screens) could be understood as an infinitely deep three-dimensional space through which users move orthographically. In other words, using architectural analogs, we can extend our understanding of the abstract nature of internet space: the architecture of the hashtag.
