Heath Bunting, The Status Project & The Netopticon

Marc Garrett writes about Heath Bunting's Status Project in the age of the Netopticon. Garrett considers the worth and social context of humans as data, submersed in frameworks and protocols, designed by a neo-liberal elite for a generic consumer class. Bunting's work is well placed for observation and practical research into the 'depths' of legal and illegal territories, whilst our contemporary identities are being collected on mass as we ride into the maelstrom of constant surveillance.

But here's the question - can the new aesthetic be more than a meme? More to the point, does it want to be? Is it capable of a direction?

Libre Graphics Research Unit - Co-Position meeting

How can designers and programmers work more harmoniously? How can the tools being created better meet the needs of users?
