Period: PIT start - ultimo 2014
The idea is to develop a number of interventions in art institutions that exploit the potential of public wifi connections as a means for participation. This provides a socio-technical infrastructure for the public to actively participate in the interpretation of individual artworks and exhibition concepts (from the bottom up).
Research Questions:
- What tensions exist in the interplay of local/global networks and writeable/readable systems?
- How might the issue of spatiality and the role of physical presence in online networks encourage different modes of participation?
- Do these participatory interventions encourage critical reflection on the socio-technical topologies and systems of control over meaning within the cultural field?
