ART & INSTALLATION

Author and artist James Bridle points out the ideological misconceptions of the Internet and reveals the materiality of the global network. His work Citizen Ex is based on a browser plug-in which renders the national addresses of your visited websites visible and draws up a fictional “algorithmic citizenship” in analogy to your browsing history. Data access transforms into a diagram that shows the different percentages of the website locations, which, however, do not necessarily correspond with the origin of their contents.
