1 digital histories [tumor]

various ways to materially quantify and document digital information consumption

[an appendage to the body that begins to quantify, and physically document and exhibit the information consumed by a person at a particular moment or period (in time to affect the body – perhaps through restricting movement or access to information)]

what is the goal?

Tools/ to explore each week's tools and processes in and of themselves;

Project/

-monitor one's digital self [digital history] over a period of time;

-physically or visually quantify the information (the bits, the KB) one consumes

-visualize one's [invisible] digital self; two dimensions of being – physical and digital

-self-awareness? meditative?

-visualize the physical weight

precedents/research?

Anab Jain_As unmanned drones, algorithms and prosthetics blur the distinction between man and machine, what, if anything, does it mean to be human?




Questions:

1 How to quantify data into material? [1kB data = 1oz fluid material = 1 sq. inch of physical space]

2 What is the site? Is it an appendage? Or site specific installation?

3 How to gather data/ sounds, phone vibrations ?
