Transcript Interview 1 (By Yuzhen) :

You have to take those away, it’s a physical act, and it..uhh. Then is when people are like.. they are more afraid to take that away. They don’t realize

- the strip is only on your project data or also on ----

no, its divided between levels. I have public data, private and so on until its very private, and the deeper the level goes the more stripes are on there as the levels go.. so you have to roll off the stripes

- also you transform the encrypted level to the physical

yeah

- actions

yeah that is actually an effort you have to go through

- I was wondering, do you think its different, make a difference if the people know you, if the reader knows or doesn’t know you before, will it make difference?

Yes it does make a difference, because uh, there is also.. if you look at some of the information I added, it’s inaccurate actually, but that’s the automated, I have these uuh, automated devices take my data. That’s how they provide it, but its not always accurate.

So people that know me will know that some things are inaccurate, but some people will know there are certain things are inaccurate, but people that don’t know me at all don’t know that.

- so for different readers, will see different connections
yes

- if the book will be exhibited at the exhibition are you supposed to have multiple readers reader it at the same time or..

uuh what do you mean exactly?

- the book, its this size (makes hand gestures) but if you want several people to read it at the same time, especially if you take a strip away. Is it supposed to be that multiple readers can read it at the same time or just one reader?

Supposed to be one reader, but I hadn’t really thought about it. Because also that’s why I made a physical book because when your reading online, or in the digital world or whatever you don’t know who else is reading the same info? Because everyone can be there, but when your reading a book by yourself you know its only you, so its maybe a different experience. But I haven’t thought about making a physical book that everyone can read at the same time yet.

- for you then it makes a difference when people read by themselves

yes

- so will you record their feedback or collect them looking in the end or how many strips they take away or.

I haven’t thought about that yet. Mm that’s a good point, I haven’t thought about that. But its definitely something I should think about actually.

- so whats it what your really interested in. do you know INSERT NAME work, ending candies where in the same as his wife who has died already, where he takes the candy wrappings, and its about taking the wrappings of to show the sweet

aahh

- the work made me think of you in relaton to this so how you can see the, how you protect the data, and the data in your domain, its like your privacy. You serve the visitors to read them and how they gonna share with the data makes a difference for you, and how you want to proceed for next year, for your work? Do you want to present this different layer?

Yeah. Now im thinking about what your just saying.. so Im a little.. what was the name of that artist?

- INSERT NAME

Youll have to write that down.

- yes, its interesting because.. I don’t really take every strip from your data, the data, the pictures or the text. The intimacy is different for everyone. The loss of a his lover is really intimate to him, so he invited the audience to share this layer they had before. but not everyone takes of the wrapper. So what do you want to share with the visitors, what do you want to show from you? From your data.

Yeah, that’s.. I don’t know that yet, that is something that I’m still developing, and it’s important. I should… yeah. But I’m not that far yet in my conceptualization.

- But do you have a precise month of data, because I read its about just one day?

Yeah

- Is that a special day or..

No its basically the first day on which all the devices that I installed were working. I though oh Ill use that day, because that’s the first day actually everything worked finally.

- if you have a choice will you make it different, will you use a different day instead of last time, with editing and looking at the data.

Well I was thinking about using all the data, but I don’t think know for sure yet. Im recording now all the data, it all works automatically, so I have everything, but I don’t know I’m going to use it.

- another question is will you sort through the data?

What?

- will you sort through the data, because you didn’t choose, for now you didn’t choose.

No I chose everything

- yes so there will be something true, something private, something wrong, all embedded all in one.

Yeah, yeah

- there are some secrets in there, luckily its dutch so almost no one here can read it
