THE RULES
+ Love thy neighbour
+ Honour the original
+ Obey the market
= Neighbourwhos?
DIGITAL RULES AND REGS – produced in collaboration with videoclub – invites artists to develop new work and working practices over a nine weeks residency period.
Rules are devised to interrogate participating artists' practices and announced at the beginning of the development period. Artists work to the same set of rules and must create new work in response to these rules.
The residency takes place online, using the web as a creative platform, source and tool.
THE OUTCOME - NEIGBOURWHOS? a work in progress
In following the residency rules Neighbourwhos? has been created by asking globally dispersed workers -
those that are working to complete small internet related tasks online in return for a fee -
to submit content in the form of video portraits of themselves; video views from where they connect to their online
networks [neighbourhoods]; and, descriptions of online neighbourhoods and neighbours.
As it stands, Neighbourwhos? makes the network workers [neighbours] and their physical neighbourhoods visible. It has also brought up fertile issues regarding participatory content creation through market models that provides opportunities for accessing an on-demand scalable workforce but offers no guarantees or security to its workers.
More on this to follow.
In the meantime
