The Black Market – Data Information and informal Internet economies
The Data Subject, entering into unknown/known/non-verbal/visible/non-visible contracts in institutionalized spaces, and the laws the dictate these spaces – mapping out the laws of such spaces, awareness of such laws and to break free of them.
- Website as a resource – a visualisation of the archiving process - the performance of getting to know the archive, its practices and its principles. A document – an object online – that expresses the overload of information – a space in which archives collide and collapse. It is not a mere agglomeration of material, information and voices. The Website as linear documentation - fragmented in the sense of archival documents organised within an organised frame, yet with gaps - links unmade, or suggested only by association, or even proximity.
- Archive is about multiple platforms, and in our case different perspectives as well. We need to keep in touch with where the 'other' is coming from. The theory and research produced is the fundamental part, then to try to have a convex affect to bounce back to the 'public' or social space of the internet which is our platform of dispersing our research.
