Data Diary
What? In this diary I document search for the destination of my digital data. This quest leads not only to the physical infrastructure, but also places within and outside the Netherlands where this personal content is stored. Questions arise about control and information transparency in todays life, to which I try to find answers along the way.

How? The Data Diary consists of diary entries I wrote, in combination with pictures that I took whilst visiting these places. Added to that are the data lists with emails, places and phone calls which were related to my visits. I combined all of this information in one Diary.

Why? I want to know what happens with my digital data. I would like to see if it’s possible to keep control of my data. In order to see if that’s possible I have to understand the digital world first. Not only the theoretical side but also the physical infrastructure.

NAKED
What? Files with the digital information from the visitors of the festival/exhibition they are visiting.
How? I gather digital information on your visitors, without hacking, and print this in analogue files. At the exposition the visitors will be confronted with their digital information in his or her own file. I am present at the exposition and hand over the file to the person whom it concerns.
Why? I want to create awareness amongst people that seemingly innocent activities on the internet can lead to the accidental creation of new digital identities. People disclose a lot of information online, to invisible, unknown parties. Letting them touch the analogue volume of their information makes it real and understandable.
