“

The Databank of the Everyday takes as its subject the real everyday uses of computers in our culture: storage, transmission, dissemination, and filtration of bodies of information. The work reflects on what various media -- from photography to computers -- have always attempted to do, to represent the Truth of life and to organize it into well-defined lists and categories. Featuring the latest in amplified fin de siècle rhetoric, the work vehemently perpetuates the current hysteria surrounding new technologies. The Databank champions the loop as a new form of representation. There is no true beginning or end, only a series of loops with their endless repetitions, halted only by a user’s selection or a power shortage. And so, in keeping with the tradition of technology, and in compliance with early twentieth-century avant-garde movements, The Databank heralds its very own twenty-first century manifesto.”N.B.
