Hello folks, I had an idea for a participatory art+research project on computing. I propose to start with an open call for stories and works on our relationships with computers between 1990 and 2010. That could include some office workers, IT staff, agile software engineers, some TikTok/... streamers and some of their viewers, hackers and gamers of all ages and eras, ... .
I think 1990-2010 was a pivotal time in computing where interface design, the culture of software engineering, and the role of computers in society all shifted significantly. It's of personal importance to me because as a 30 year old, those years contextualise and define much of my life. Assuming the open call is successful and a few people submit interesting works, we could analyse the collection together to find things that are similar and things that are different. Thoughts?
