00 Description
-
From the Internet Archive's Deecntralized Web Summit Secrets Exhibition: qlmQ subverts the use of an encrypted protection by exposing the artist’s private key on a common sticker. What is supposed to be a unique, secret identifier for the artist’s identity will be transposed onto a flexible, vulnerable, reproducible format designed for mass proliferation. The act of careless distribution positions privacy in a permanently public context and challenges the notion of their dichotomy. By sticking privacy onto public spaces globally, Ohlsen asks: what is the potential for a spectrum between these two poles?
