[Air-l] new media theory + social software

Hi everyone, I don't want to say too much because I'm still trying to figure out what I'm thinking about, but does anyone know if anything has been done connecting the new media as art/visual product literature (here I am thinking Manovich on montage, Landow on hypertext, interface design theory) with current research on social software (danah boyd, Clay Shirky, the CoP crowd, et al)? So the visual aspects of social software. I am not thinking here so much of network mapping applications, of which there are plenty. Thanks, Kathy Mancuso
