Facsimile
Facsimile is the working title for a broad range of activity and research projects and collaborations focused around knowledge and information online and in the real world. It speaks to how people and society understand the world, experience it and how they come to know.
Its aim is to promote thinking and debate around knowledge, information and data we digest everyday.
For example, is graffiti a crime or art? What counts as ‘truth’. Whose voice is heard and whose is not? Who has the power to choose what gets ‘known’.
Are voice assistants (as information sources) politically neutral?
We have several projects underway and more in the pipeline and are always keen to collaborate, speak or share. Please get in touch for queries about research collaborations, visits or supervision via [email protected]
