DIS Magazine

Fictional diary entries from the perspective of a data surveillance worker on an artificial island, or seastead, in the South Pacific. November 2014. Written as companion to artist Yuri Pattison‘s solo Free Traveller exhibition, which explored the tenuous promise of the unregulated Internet as a utopia and the corporate-private divide. The show wove in everything from footage from a Shinkansen bullet train ride and the Tropical Islands resort outside Berlin, to the 1940s novel The Invention of Morel by Adolfo Bioy Cesares.
