Tribes of New York: Internet Yami-Ichi

As “Amazon Boy,” 27-year-old Matt Starr hoists up to seventy pounds of packages in Amazon boxes back and forth across Lower Manhattan — what he calls an “experimental delivery system” to “humanize” the company as it movesinto drone delivery. “It’s about connecting. You won’t get this online, I promise,” he said.

An attendee tests out a microphone made from repurposed rotary phone parts at Michelle Cortese’s booth. Cortese works as a “creative technologist” at Refinery29.

Gabby Iglesias, 31 and a self-described “huge torrent user,” straps a guest with a party wristband that contains metadata extracted from pirated music files.

Boston’s resident climate change alarmist, Weatherman, 35, spent most of Sunday’s Internet Yami-ichi in character, handing out brochures bearing all-caps warnings of coming extreme weather events. It’s the result, he says, of an “extreme rate of industrialism fueled by a state of frenzied hyper-capitalism.”

Few attendees wandered the warehouse tethered to their phones, a drastically different scene from the Williamsburg, Bed-Stuy, and Ridgewood streets and bars in which many of them live and hang out.

In a move away from digital formats, many of the booths at Sunday’s Internet Yami-ichi utilized more analog technology, like radio and live talks.
