How We Became Metadata / Curated by Marquard SmithSummarization of Content
Exhibition catalogue for the group show 'How We Became Metadata', the inaugural exhibition University of Westminster's gallery at 309 Regent Street, London. The exhibition pinpointed metadata as a matter of the most pressing concern in our contemporary environment.In this exhibition, practitioners working as artists, designers, and architects locate and challenge the logic, the status, and the nature of data, information, and knowledge. Between them, they pick away at metadata - its logic, its rhythm, its ubiquity - by way of the informational (Callanan), the communicable (Han), the environmental/ecological (Corby & Baily and Jonathan Mackenzie), the bio-cultural (Kac), the searchable (Thomson and Craighead), the historical (lok), and the archival as itself a mechanical super-structure of data (Maclennan and Orlow).
