These include tech giants like Google and Facebook that offer "free" services for a value exchange of our data. HOW MUCH OF OURSELVES DO WE UNKNOWINGLY REVEAL? By participating in this hyper-connected society while having little to no control of our digital data production, how much of ourselves do we unknowingly reveal? To what degree does the aggregated metadata collected from us paint an accurate portrait of who we are? What aspects of our individuality is reflected in this portrait? <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/326beea5e1711b50c49d9c5f4cc09cd5aec241e7d5229279f24d0da5b463bdb4/xpose_001.jpg" data-mid="112352410" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/326beea5e1711b50c49d9c5f4cc09cd5aec241e7d5229279f24d0da5b463bdb4/xpose_001.jpg" /> <img width="2500" height="1415" width_o="2500" height_o="1415" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/66ac168355c079fd06d8b2f6d306606941aa25de16735817f977e1612bfd9fd3/xpose_004.jpg" data-mid="112352690" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/66ac168355c079fd06d8b2f6d306606941aa25de16735817f977e1612bfd9fd3/xpose_004.jpg" /><img width="2500" height="1415" width_o="2500" height_o="1415" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0cbfb4a9b167ba81ed72ad74a9a91a8d0591cdc129d41c0b0b9167412b4617b3/xpose_006.jpg" data-mid="112352457" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0cbfb4a9b167ba81ed72ad74a9a91a8d0591cdc129d41c0b0b9167412b4617b3/xpose_006.jpg" /><img width="2500" height="1415" width_o="2500" height_o="1415" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/12009a840c8ca4a1452a4c51b073e6c694b370ac31f94020279911d413653073/xpose_005.jpg" data-mid="112352675" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/12009a840c8ca4a1452a4c51b073e6c694b370ac31f94020279911d413653073/xpose_005.jpg" />X.pose is an exploration of these questions.

The sculptures are comprised of numerous homemade circuit boards, LED lights and motors, each functioning as a unique physical representation of a digital musical programming language.The set of sculptures comprise of a large deck and two individual tapes suspended inside glass vitrines reference both fetishized sleek apple products and museum artifacts of natural history. Although they appear in physical form to be familiar audio cassettes, these digital sculptures are actually living algorithms generating ever changing compositions. They seek to question our changing relationship to the digital media we consume.

Every second brings a new possibility of causes, effects, and reactions, an evolving future with multiple possibilities. This clock draws a parallel with our own existence in this critical time: how little control we have over time itself, and how much we manage to influence the time in our lives. It is a metaphor for how our decisions are affected for the time we have left and also the opportunities that it brings to us. We tend to see time as a linear string of seconds. But time is not linear. It's irregular. It's a glitch. It's affected by how we absorb it, by what we do with it, by our daily decisions.&nbsp; CreditsCreated by: Pedro Oliveira MediumHTML5, Javascript.Exhibitions'Glitch Art 0P3NR3P0' show at the The Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago - 2013 https://juxtapix.cargo.site/Backslash Sat, 26 Jun 2021 02:08:20 +0000 Pedro https://juxtapix.cargo.site/Backslash <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/baab3990d5c702b1de49d1c4d2343a2cf86057d8dc1b309075ba1d7e98218fcf/backslash001.jpg" data-mid="112357096" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/baab3990d5c702b1de49d1c4d2343a2cf86057d8dc1b309075ba1d7e98218fcf/backslash001.jpg" /><img width="1980" height="1320" width_o="1980" height_o="1320" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e141672d60dce9d1239e7567b383cfed12ef92a0757707497957a5d38eff357f/backslash005.jpg" data-mid="112357100" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e141672d60dce9d1239e7567b383cfed12ef92a0757707497957a5d38eff357f/backslash005.jpg" /> Backslash is a guerrilla kit for protests of the future. Modern protesters believe connectivity is a basic human right. Backslash addresses the relationship between protests and technology, cultivating dialog about freedom of expression, riots and disruptive tech. The future of technology in protest looks dark. The hyper-militarization of law enforcement has become widespread as global governments attempt to suppress dissent and monitor their citizens. There is a huge disparity between the amount of technologies used by the authorities and the technologies available to protesters and activists during protests and riots.How can the global community retain the right to free speech and public assembly in a safe and effective manner? How can we level the technological playing field for activists and the general population? IN FUTURE PROTESTS,HOW WILL THE UNDERGROUND FIGHT BACK? As designers and artists, we find this to be a very compelling challenge. We are interested in the technologies that could help to start this conversation. Backslash is a series of functional devices designed for protests and riots of the future. Created through the lens of critical design, Backslash aims to retain the right to connect in protest sites through the creative appropriation of existing technologies.&nbsp; <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9b53b884a9a84467b76556303cef29145c235a8263c0aca73a050b24ca9cf038/backslash002.jpg" data-mid="112357097" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9b53b884a9a84467b76556303cef29145c235a8263c0aca73a050b24ca9cf038/backslash002.jpg" /><img width="3600" height="2400" width_o="3600" height_o="2400" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d50843ec520add7a63ba6852dc8db8c8975ec666eb133b20ffd3d2b2ef069041/back002.jpg" data-mid="112357095" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d50843ec520add7a63ba6852dc8db8c8975ec666eb133b20ffd3d2b2ef069041/back002.jpg" /><img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2f6ce13c646086962e2c52577fecbfbb5cb528834a202b465dd32a5adceb5081/backslash004.jpg" data-mid="112357099" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2f6ce13c646086962e2c52577fecbfbb5cb528834a202b465dd32a5adceb5081/backslash004.jpg" /><img width="1366" height="1546" width_o="1366" height_o="1546" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c7ec175dec47ab129f5918db7b1b1e8fb46efd6e4b7b1cf7af47b11aa0bd1906/back003.jpg" data-mid="112357113" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c7ec175dec47ab129f5918db7b1b1e8fb46efd6e4b7b1cf7af47b11aa0bd1906/back003.jpg" />Political, social and cultural landscapes vary immensely from country to country. Not all the protests look like Hong-Kong, where the average protester had at least 3 personal devices connected to the internet. A one-size-fits-all solution to these dynamic situations is irrational and impractical. Alternately, we believe Backslash is the starting point for local design and maker communities to collectively reinvent the technological culture in protests. Backslash is not created with a political agenda nor is it a call to action. Instead, it is design to provoke thought, to spark debate and design that can empower the individual to better their community.

The project addresses growing questions concerning what will happen to one’s digital presence after they die. What becomes of our personal data, memories, and history? The Hereafter Institute offers a variety of technological solutions for the preservation of one’s digital soul including 3D body scanning, wearable memorialization, and the embedding of personal data into everyday objects. Pedro was invited to be the Lead Creative Technologist for this project in charge of developing and overseeing four different and unique interactive pieces. The project culminated in a show at LACMA in August 2016.
