undata Nov 2011
undata is a collection of web sites whose content has been modified, published for free electronically as a .pdf file. It is a reflection on the compiling, display and use of data in our times of information technology. Do we get what we need? Do we need what we get? How do we recognise censorship, witholding of information and misdirection from truth? Is it still possible? Does it matter? Do we care?
The sound files are the legally compulsary counterpoints to this visual data, as directed by anti discrimination laws. The usefulness of the information provided thus is on a par with whatever is contained in the written originals.
Of course, this is also poetry.
Issues will be launched at irregular intervals, depending on the amount of material I process. The Nov 2011 issue is available here
Issue 01 table of contents:
01—–Urdu porn (s)

No Undo
Richard Foot and Arron Fowler, of the R&A collective, came round on the 8th November to shoot a short movie about the Typewriter series. The result is a neat little film, featuring a short interview, some camera porn and loads of words appearing here and there. Click here to view it on their website.
