Artists and scientists from the Data Loam Project explore past and future knowledge systems and underline the urgent need of new forms of organization beyond standardized categorization and indexation.
We need to overcome traditional lexical and encyclopedic methods of organization and break with their intrinsic hierarchies and value judgments, without creating new and possibly more serious impediments.
Instead of consistently working towards the short-hand of a binary ontology, we should think of information as a dynamic network of interacting particles and regard it in terms of a materiality that comprises ambivalent, undecidable and ephemeral elements.
