DearMirah: Researching Art in Digital Environments

DearMirah is a blog that has multiple purposes. Its primary purpose is supporting artists who are using Tumblr to display their work. Second, DearMirah captures my own personal process as I develop my graduate thesis over the next three years. I study ‘born digital’ artworks and the artists who create them. My previous area of research focused on the commodification of artists using Tumblr. In addition to studying art I also like to study audience theory and fandom - I do like to do a lot of case studies on the Supernatural fandom.
