Dissensual Places — Three Scenes from the Everyday of Networked Media

In this practice-based research output of my Master of Research in Arts and Cultural Research, I explore the ordinarily obfuscated computational processes of networked media through a Research-through-Design approach. Focussing on translating computational data into sculptural, non-declarative forms, this document originally accompanied an exhibition. The three forms are based on actual data recorded while liking posts on social media. The theoretical basis for the presentation is Jacques Rancière's discussion of the theatre of Edward Gordon Craig, and its capacity to induce a dissensus, a rift in politico-aesthetic possibilities, in his audiences.
