Shifts perspective from centered on the globe from atop the North Pole one hundred and eighty degrees, to centered on the globe atop the South Pole. Also known as Antarctica. This continent is badly mangled in the Cahill-Keyes Butterfly M projection, and so the Southern Version centers it.

2022
In 2019, a heavily-redacted version of the Mueller Report was made public. On the thirteenth of May 2022, another heavily-redacted addendum was made public as part of the Paul Manafort sentencing, the Mueller Manafort Response. Both of these documents together are 486 pages: if every page of the combined document was shrunk and put into a rectangular grid, the resulting document would fill the paper edge to edge, and each page would measure 1.75” tall by 1” wide.
The background image is this graphic projection, but only the parts of each page that have been redacted, blacking out the text and hiding meaning and comprehension. Many pages (and key parts of these documents) are unintelligible to the public, years and years after the events described.
Exploratory talks with small groups discussing current internet infrastructure, from fiber optic cables, starlink and LEO satellites, and mobile network providers, and perceptions of a connected global village versus the holes in current reality. In addition, the state of web, news, social and streaming media, and how censorship and villainy thwart utopian ideals. The sessions end with an optional tarot card draw and aggregate interpretation “for the internet in 2023.”
Here’s a small A5 booklet that describes the performance.
Media Metadata Research Lab (MMRL) is a San Francisco-based art research collective
working at the intersection of data visualization, digital art, and cultural analytics. We
develop quantitative and qualitative methods for measuring and representing diversity in
media. MMRL members are Abigail De Kosnik, Benjamin De Kosnik, Veronica Jackson, Matthew Jamison, and Jaclyn Zhou.
Included below are work-in-progress graphic outputs from an experimental intersectionality tagging and visualization system being developed by MMRL for film, television, streaming, web content, and social media.
