[spectre] Joana Moll: Carbolytics

[marcela at aksioma.org]

Dear friends,

 

I’d like to inform you about Carbolytics, Joana Moll's new project, commissioned by Aksioma Institute in the frame of konS – Platform for Contemporary Investigative Art.

 

The research behind Carbolytics identifies and analyses the carbon emissions of the total number of cookies belonging to the top one million websites. The investigation identified more than 21 million cookies per single visit to all these websites, belonging to more than 1200 different companies, which translates to an average of 197 trillion cookies per month, resulting in 11,442 metric tonnes of CO2 emissions per month.

In this essay, artist, writer and professor of cultural studies Matthew Fuller, known for his work in media theory, software studies, cultural studies and contemporary fiction, delves into the work of Joana Moll and outlines how Carbolytics exposes a working approximation of the hidden and outsourced pollution of digital capitalism.
