DIGITAL WATERMAKING

According to the Digital Watermarking Alliance: http://digitalwatermarkingalliance.org/about/quick-facts/

   Digital watermarking is the process by which identifying data is woven into media content such as images, printed materials, movies, music or TV programming, giving those objects a unique, digital identity that can be used for a variety of valuable applications.
   ...
   Digital watermarking can enable content identification, forensic tracking and copyright communication on a broad scale and can provide a range of solutions for identifying, securing, managing and tracking digital images, audio, video, and printed materials.

Experiment

Diving into a forensic way of investigation on labour: In order to reveal the hidden labour in shadow library, Participant will be a detective to find digital labour footages. Being in a detective mode, we'll track down traces/labours that are made throughout the process of select, copy, scan, upload, download, modify, edit, categorize files and put metadata etc...

Downloading a digital book "Fifty shades of grey" in different forms such MOBI, PDF, EPUB and using meta data revealing tool to forensicate an investigation on hidden labours.
