Couple of interesting links related to Biella's work that I came across: She teaches a class on hackers at NYU, some details here [1]. Of particular interest to me is this long piece on trolls [2] that she uses as course material. Biella, would you say that trolling is primarily *performance art* and, therefore, would not exist without an audience?
