Experiments in distributed imag(in)ary

The Olympic Arcades Laboratory is many things:

  • a series of imag(in)ing mash-up experiments.
  • an investigation into the operation of imag(in)ing protocols (jpeg and kml) and code as actant.
  • a series of experiments looking at ways of approaching imag(in)ing as an issue of code.
  • an exploration of the materiality of the virtual  image in terms of image as code.
  • an investigation of the interface between software studies and visual culture studies.
  • an attempt to create an Exploit (Galloway and Thacker, 2007) within the space of distributed imaging.
  • oh, and a ‘practice-led PhD’ taking its inspiration from Walter Benjamin’s Arcades Project by Paul Caplan of the Internationale at Birkbeck, University of London.
