The Rosemary Initiative

February 21, 2008

 What are the affects of contemporary surveillance technologies on social interaction? How might they be re-circuited to enhance social connectivity and awareness within open societies?

The Rosemary Initiative probes conditions of social networks within panoptic environments. It explores influences of location mapping and analysis technologies on social interaction via a series of staged events ..

To a certain extent, contemporary social networks can be described as an economy through which personal relations propagate, and within which identities form, cultures emerge and establish themselves, and eventually dissolve. Within this context, one’s social identity becomes (in part) a function of relations, defined by strong and weak ties explicitly established by an individual or inferred through a history of transactions.
