    2. Prelude
      • “ In 2006 EMI, the world's fourth-biggest recorded-music company, invited some teenagers into its headquarters in London to talk to its top managers about their listening habits. At the end of the session the EMI bosses thanked them for their comments and told them to help themselves to a big pile of CDs sitting on a table. But none of the teens took any of the CDs, even though they were free. ‘That was the moment we realised the game was completely up,’ says a person who was there.”

      • increasingly constant video record,
      • surveillance of street, earth, + space
      • increasing transparency
      • of lives and living
      • And we can explode the old library

      • what we have gone through -

      • But,
      • Us,
      • and the data with us.
      • “ Small objects

      • - “She’s on the phone” by Nice Logo, Flickr, Nov 20 07

      • working, learning, playing
      • }
      • -- with others ...
      • and this
      • will not come without a struggle
