IDEA
In a culture of hypercategorisation, what can become of the forgotten spaces of the internet?
With areas of the internet resembling the impoverished wastelands of an Andrea Arnold film, can we turn these spaces into temporary autonomous zones?
Obsolete platforms & forgotten websites as publishing moments. Subverting the intended use (hello affordance)
Many virtual spaces/worlds were created to accommodate some of the social issues that arised from COVID.
These hangouts are as much as abandoned when society reopens. However, they still are taking up space in a server somewhere. What if we could squat them?
Did categorisation & modernisation of the internet create these abandoned places? Can we make them into digital utopias?
THEMES
obsolete internet | hypermodernisation | hypercategorisation | virtual space | subversion | simulation | temporary autonomous zones | architectura; planning | physical vs digital
WATCH
World on a Wire Dialogues is a joint project by the online platform Rhizome (New York) and Garage Digital, featuring conversations with artists about the implications of simulation practices in digital art.
