AGM Culture 13: Gaz-e [curating, artistic practice]
2013
Gaz-e is an online digital platform which presents an ongoing collective research project that interrogates the ever-increasing digitised gaze. It does so by sourcing headshot from email inboxes (attached to or embedded in emails) and placing them in a virtual scape that constantly fluctuates the gaze ad infinitum.
Details of Exhibition
Within the context of the internet we are constantly under the digital gaze. The World Wide Web embodies the notion of a Big Brother dystopia. Its subtle and undetectable collection and storage of information and personal data has developed a new panopticon machine. A result of this online digitised experience is the re-configuration of our own gaze, where data visualisation creates a new paradigm of this new way of seeing, within which pixels become elementary grammar.
The website constantly source and re-distribute the e-mail information flux of the gaze and place it on the World Wide Web. It is maintained by both algorithms and human agency.
