Hi Maria & List,
Thanks for the links! I've been think along similar lines with my
Post Browser piece --
http://nujus.net/~nujblog
The information is out there but the question is how do you organize
it and how do you interact with it?
as an artist and a "petite radical" I think in terms of creating your
own interfaces that circumnavigate government/corporate/institutional
control.
That's an individualist and anarchist approach. It has to do with
the artist/people seizing the means of production. I like the idea
of IEML.
It offers a coding structure that can be a building block to an
individual's control/use of big data.
