AN ETHNOGRAPHY ON STRATEGIES OG DIGITAL FRICTION

 

Reality is organized in discrete units. We are trapped in filter bubbles, surrounded by comfort and uniformity – “digital islands of isolation that are drifting further apart each day.”  In other words, seamless surfaces are stacked on top of each other, engaging us in the cosy architecture of Gated Communities. Personalized interfaces endure into homophily – we are encircled with more of the same. Comfortable exclusions of the Other touch upon an easy space of segregation.

 

warehouse is a curatorial project researching into artistic and scientific strategies of digital friction. The aim is to research into a condition of homophily to provide solutions: warehouse configures ethnographic categories [pray], [soft-fiction], [entropy], [adobe], [home], [stranded]: a geometry to map a new normal; a topography for overcoming segregation. How may friction look like in times of total seamlessness? For 5 month warehouse will go on an ethnographic field trip by collecting, archiving and distributing scientific and artistic data around modes of digital resistance. We will seek models of friction, local utopias and distributive infiltrations.
