Card Stand

£2.50

At 8.05pm on 17th Feb 2011, a 4chan user knocked down the card stand on the corner of 7th Ave and West 46th St, NY. This act, while on the surface a piece of petty vandalism, is emblematic not only of a new form of peer pressure cultivated in fast-moving online communities, but also of the dynamics and paradigms that exist online involving representation, archiving and documentation.
