| I would like to investigate on (how colonialism is related with) digital labour by forensicating crime scene on the web.
| |
|
| |
| I would like to meticulously delve on what is a digital form of labour, what different types of digital capital exist, what is the relationship between value and digital capital, how does it related with digital labour— would be sub-research.
| |
|
| |
| what is a infrastructure around digital labour?
| |
| Going back to the method of forensic, I would like to being in a detective mode, crawing the web, writing a forensic report.
| |
| My thesis will be an investigation report where I reveal several crime scenes. It is a digital crime scene in the digital world that free labour is being used in a different way. So, being a detective to reveal the cases that are being ignored/shadowed without knowing it/illegally used/ from users. And trying to find digital footages, traces, provisos that are hidden on internet/web.
| |
|
| |
| My project will be a platform in which you can experience different kinds of digital labour I will introduce.

| 0, Trying to define what is digital labour -> A new digital glossary <br>
| |
| 1. Doing researches on Colonialism, what was happening during the colonial period, why did it happened. <br>
| |
| 2. Doing researches on the digital form of labour, what types of different digital labour, capital, value exists in the web. <br>
| |
| 3. Reading on the idea of colonialism, labour, capital, capitalism, Data colonialism, Maxism...More to come. <br>
| |
| 4.Thinking about how I'm going to prototype it. Small sets of experiments that revealstthe idea of digital labour? <br>
| |
| 5. Make a different study case, aka crime scene, and investigate on it. The investigation might lead me to start on a new study case. So I can image that my work could be a series of investigation that are linked all together under the subject of digital labour. <br>

| My interest has been slowly built since last Special Issue 8 where I was working on the subject of dependency on a network, infrastructure, and decentralization. The idea of being dependent or independent on a web brought me to think of how data is being used/exploited from a third party, and used to make a profit.
| |
|
| |
| On the Special Issue 9, I got interested on the labour part of pirate library where the labour tend to be invisible intentionally or unintentionally. My project will be an extension of this research, more in a broad sense in the web.
