Jamie’s Internet Famous class in TIME

My pal and Jelly-er Jamie Wilkinson has been teaching an awesome class at Parson’s on how to achieve Internet fame. It’s tailored towards art students for whom these skills are extra important in getting their work out there.

He was recently profiled in TIME Magazine. Way to go, Jamie!

I didn’t know this before, but apparently the final grades are dependent on each students internet fame at the end of the semester. (Or, I assume, change/improvement in their frame.) Beautiful.

Here’s a choice quote:

Durtsche [a student] says the class has helped him to look differently at the Internet, at how quickly famo comes and goes… “You have to be creative, especially in this class to get an A. Why do you think I’m talking to you? This story is going online with my name, isn’t it? That’s more famo, right there.”
