antisocial notworking is a repository of projects that explore the  
pseudo-agency of online social platforms. It takes a number of recent  
software projects as its inspiration to reflect upon the fashion for  
'participation' with the arts sector and culture in general. The  
concern is how the Internet is increasingly charactised as a  
'platform' (or collective machine) for 'social' uses, but to question  
what is meant by the term social in such descriptions. Although social  
networking platforms rely on user-generated content, what is the  
nature of this participation? What alternatives (or antitheses) can be  
identified?
