Title (Dublin Core)
Cloud Farming
Description (Dublin Core)
Cloud Farming questions the sacred nature of technology by re-contextualizing system hierarchy as a portrait of data. It manifests the cloud, social networks, data, leaks and what forms social capital into a single object. Ultimately its a creative experiment about contemporary power structures as a type of group consciousness, becoming a 3-dimensional map of post-Wikileaks information culture.
...a suspended structure of flashing triangular circuit boards that uses custom printed circuit boards and ethernet cables to essentially sniff out nearby wifi signals. Once detected, blinking green lights create a maniacally anxious experience for viewers, perpetuating the nagging sensation that they're being watched as they walk through the gallery.
