Thematically, I have written a few posts recently about how I feel that we have sleepwalked into a digital panopticon of our own making…(yes, obviously a slight change from the sound and music posts I typically do). However, I believe there is a connection between both areas, and it is always something which is on my mind, and well…this is my blog after all. I feel that we seem to have entered a period in which we now live inside a fragile digital archive, where everything that matters to us, from our work, our money, our identities, our memories, our art and even a journal of our performative emotions…only exists as digital data…. data represented by binary 1s and 0s or ephemeral electrical pulses, without even a sense of place. No actually physical location but scattered across servers and data centres we neither see nor control.
