“Today I will tell you the story of my bittersweet first experiences on MySpace. Sometime last fall I got an email with the subject line “Secret MySpace Project,” from Sam Frank: former n+1 copyeditor and current editor of Triple Canopy. Sam sent out a number of photographs of “defaced faces” by the multimedia artist Jon Kessler. The faces were exhibited in a Drawing Center show called: You Have 43 Friends. Sam, who had copyedited the catalogue of Kessler’s The Palace at 4 A.M. (the text of which includes ”a fictionalized interview between Jon, a four-star general, and the general’s youngest son, a Bard curatorial student“), decided it would be cool if he could get 33 of his friends to make MySpace profiles for 33 of the defaced faces.”
