<nettime> Political Browser Extension: 'stateless plug-in' (Conradi - Christensen) |
A stateless person is someone with no citizenship or nationality. An estimated 12-15 million people in the world are not citizens of any state, and are therefore inherently deprived of the right to have rights. The ?stateless plug-in? is a browser extension that intervenes in digital territory, transforming the issue of stateless people into a multifaceted digital mapping of existing knowledge and information on the Internet. By interconnecting an extensive range of positions on statelessness in an unanticipated way, the stateless plug-in generates an unpredicted non-linear and dynamic storyline with space for unanticipated thoughts and connections. This project offers a critical comment towards the lack of attention on the issue by beseeching the users attention through the infiltration of their usual browsing behaviour. To download the extension for Firefox, Chrome or Safari, or to learn more about the project, please visit: www.statelessplugin.net # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: http://mx.kein.org/mailman/listinfo/nettime-l # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime@kein.org
