An author and artist, James Bridle works at the intersection of different technologies and disciplines. His artistic practice, which cannot be separated from the development of his theoretical and political thinking, thus takes place in a large area of reflection and production, taking the form of installations, lectures, renderings, maps, software… In particular, his interest turns to the ways in which technological advancement changes the representation and knowledge of the real world and consequently affects our perception of the future. This line of research, capable of unhinging the boundaries between real and virtual, allows Bridle to highlight the contradictions and short-circuits inevitably generated by technological progress, digital networks and data proliferation. The Citizen Ex project is based on the idea of “algorithmic citizenship,” a new form of citizenship that is determined and rewritten whenever the data of Internet users are exchanged, tracked and recorded in different parts of the world. This migration of information leads everyone to see their rights reformulated and recalculated depending on different and often contradictory legislative systems. The installation shows the hidden routing of searches by visitors and a shared citizenship for all of them.
