The increasingly pervasive, user-created content of online social media – 
tweets, confessional video, status updates, online gaming - are these 
subjects for art? In online parlance a poke is a virtual gesture intended as 
interaction without any specific purpose, usually interpreted as "hello." 
POKE! is also a new FotoFest exhibition featuring technologically savvy 
artists who explore online social media and its evolving relationship with 
the public, the media, and art.September 10 – October 24, 2009, POKE! 
explores the inter-personal intentions of social media technology and the 
nature of modern internet-mediated relationships with work that references 
and uses source material from popular online social media websites such as 
Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, Craigslist, and YouTube.
