''I propose to conceptualize, design and build a physical artifact imbued with technological properties and human-like agency. This artifact's form should reference the concept of the technological "black box", would comprise of no inputs, and a few simple outputs.''
''I propose to conceptualize, design and build a black box imbued with technological properties and human-like agency. This artifact would perform questionable moral activities and engage in a monologue with itself, reflecting on the nature of its activities. This box would comprise of no inputs, a simple audio output.''


* '''Purpose''' : to capture internet packets and store them for later use. To this end, my device will try to connect to open wireless networks in its vicinity or illegally infiltrate WEP and WPA networks and record their traffic. Whatever it captures will be stored on a USB key for potential later use. To give a clear indication of what the device is currently doing, a small 16x2 LED screen would teletype the current course of action (ex : "Scraping packets from SSID Blalala")


* '''Outputs''' : I would like my device's outputs to display a salient sense of human sensitivity, in many ways similar to Hal the computer featured in the movie 2001: A Space Oddyssey. One way of doing this would involve the voice of a computer, layered atop of a light and upbeat jazz ballad, describing step by step its current actions and emotional state (ex: "I'm stealing packets now. I'm not sure this is a good idea, what do you think?"). This would be audible only by putting earphones on, creating a personal, one-to-one relationship between the user and a seemingly inert black box.
* '''Purpose''' : to broadcast a wireless internet access point open to all and capture/store the packets flowing through it for later use. Additionally, this device would attempt to infiltrate wireless access points in its vicinity and capture the packets of computers using it.


* '''Output''' : I would like my device's output to display a salient sense of human sensitivity, in many ways similar to Hal, the computer featured in the movie ''2001: A Space Oddyssey''. One way of doing this would involve the voice of a computer, describing step by step its current actions and emotional state (ex: "I'm stealing packets now. I'm not sure this is a good idea, what do you think?"). Audible only by putting earphones on, a closed tunnel between the user and the piece would be created. This machine would show signs of guilt and remorse - reflected through its internal monologue. Although questions would be asked to the person listening, there are no actual controls offered by the artifact - rendering these questions purely rhetorical.
* '''Why''' : I wish to capture the self-reflective reasoning of internet technology control structures. They exert a particular sense of self-consciousness that I wish to distill. These mammoth systems have histories, ideologies, strengths and limits which resemble humans in many ways. Governments need to negotiate with other states - exactly the same way people do. They possess, create and manage self-confidence, they set thresholds and checkpoints for success and failure, they sometimes break down - all in similar ways that humans do. It is their capacity to grow powerful and autonomous which creates self-referential agency, that which I address with this project. The interaction between the work of machines, the intentions of humans and the consciousness that might arise from their entanglement is what interests me.

My main concern while making these works was to highlight the mediation power held by  technologies. Some works did this more literally than others, but my goal was often to try and make visible certain characteristics of technology that make us believe that it could be apolitical, agnostic to influence or simply objective. If there is anything inherent at all to Internet technology, I believe it to be its immunity to complete objectivity from social, political, economical and legislative pressures. In addition to this subjectivity I attempted to reveal, the works I've produced cast cyberspace in a particular light in terms of its constitution - I believe it to be a highly narrative, open-ended space with different norms, rules and affordances.

Another important element to mention while discussing past "work" is the fact that I've spent many years working in commercial settings, building internet architecture and software for private interests. Therefore, I'm in a good position to understand the logic behind their decisions, and type of behavior can possibly be expected from such an industry. I understand rather well how the Internet startup scene is built, why and how large software companies became very successful, etc. I expect this to be asset while conceiving and contextualizing my work.

To recap, the system I intend on designing has 2 main characteristics : the first one is that its only function is to execute a morally questionable action and "knows" it very well. The architecture of this system allows for a single, unambiguous use of it. This use, would repeat itself over and over and over regardless of the "damage" it inflicts.

It is important to make clear that this object has no control mechanism inherent to it, that the consciousness which sustains itself "inside" the black box is inaccessible and sealed off from external influence.


* To have my device actually connecting and listening on networks, I plan to flash the firmware of a router (I am already working on one, and have ordered a second one) to install a custom distribution of Linux (openWRT or dd-WRT). This will enable me to install custom software to sniff and record packets from various wireless networks. As these routers have only volatile memory (RAM), I will be using either A) a router with a USB port to stock the data from the network interface to a USB stick B) a combination of an Arduino board + Ethernet shield augmented with a microSD card, wired in with an RJ-45 cable directly in the router to stock my data. These steps this will involve, at least, the following technologies : bash, linux, openwrt/dd-wrt.

From a more qualitative standpoint, I would like my work to possess the following properties which I found important in other inspiring projects listed below :
 
* Box : Extremely simple to interact with
* Box : Complex inner workings
* Voice : calm and collected, easy to understand
* Voice : building a compelling narrative structure

When I started on this endeavor, I wanted to make a project about regulation, government and industry. As things evolved, my project has naturally taken a much more philosophical, ethic and artistic turn - I think for the best. Although I still have the desire to somewhat mirror some of the bad decisions taken by governments in my project, perhaps I will be doing it in a slightly more metaphorical manner. I am more concerned about creating a compelling narrative growing out of this black box for the viewer to appreciate at the moment.

Summary

I propose to conceptualize, design and build a black box imbued with technological properties and human-like agency. This artifact would perform questionable moral activities and engage in a monologue with itself, reflecting on the nature of its activities. This box would comprise of no inputs, a simple audio output.


  • Purpose : to broadcast a wireless internet access point open to all and capture/store the packets flowing through it for later use. Additionally, this device would attempt to infiltrate wireless access points in its vicinity and capture the packets of computers using it.
  • Output : I would like my device's output to display a salient sense of human sensitivity, in many ways similar to Hal, the computer featured in the movie 2001: A Space Oddyssey. One way of doing this would involve the voice of a computer, describing step by step its current actions and emotional state (ex: "I'm stealing packets now. I'm not sure this is a good idea, what do you think?"). Audible only by putting earphones on, a closed tunnel between the user and the piece would be created. This machine would show signs of guilt and remorse - reflected through its internal monologue. Although questions would be asked to the person listening, there are no actual controls offered by the artifact - rendering these questions purely rhetorical.
  • Why : I wish to capture the self-reflective reasoning of internet technology control structures. They exert a particular sense of self-consciousness that I wish to distill. These mammoth systems have histories, ideologies, strengths and limits which resemble humans in many ways. Governments need to negotiate with other states - exactly the same way people do. They possess, create and manage self-confidence, they set thresholds and checkpoints for success and failure, they sometimes break down - all in similar ways that humans do. It is their capacity to grow powerful and autonomous which creates self-referential agency, that which I address with this project. The interaction between the work of machines, the intentions of humans and the consciousness that might arise from their entanglement is what interests me.


Previous Work

In the past year, I have made 3 projects. The first was a grumpy chat program that interfered with the normal flow of a conversation, the second one a subscription-based soap opera newsletter inspired by daily news reports, and the last one, an encryption/decryption algorithm that protected your message from scrutiny, but revelaed your intentions of communicating under the radar.

My main concern while making these works was to highlight the mediation power held by technologies. Some works did this more literally than others, but my goal was often to try and make visible certain characteristics of technology that make us believe that it could be apolitical, agnostic to influence or simply objective. If there is anything inherent at all to Internet technology, I believe it to be its immunity to complete objectivity from social, political, economical and legislative pressures. In addition to this subjectivity I attempted to reveal, the works I've produced cast cyberspace in a particular light in terms of its constitution - I believe it to be a highly narrative, open-ended space with different norms, rules and affordances.


Project Outline, Methods & Approach

Outline

To recap, the system I intend on designing has 2 main characteristics : the first one is that its only function is to execute a morally questionable action and "knows" it very well. The architecture of this system allows for a single, unambiguous use of it. This use would repeat itself over and over and over regardless of the "damage" it is capable of inflicting.

The second characteristic of this system would be its capability of showing signs of human sensitivity. Remorse or guilt, for example. After performing this morally questionable action, it would give the impression of perhaps feeling remorse, communicate to the user that it is sorry for the damage caused (perhaps even promise to never do it again), and then carry on repeating itself immediately.

In brief, a system that was designed purposefully to cause harm, purposefully express remorse and demand to be excused for its actions, then deliberately repeats these actions in an infinite loop. The precedents set by the previously executed actions could serve as justification for current decisions being taken.
