Studio for Immediate Spaces
Maria van der Togt+
Maria van der Togt is nothing short of tantalized by Algorithms. Hyperaware her brain is shaped by the neoliberal world, dominated by lines of code, in which she grew into an adult. Her work is an exploration into the spatial implications of data architecture; Continuously dissecting the digital structures that guide our on/off-line interactions.
How to allude to the ghostly infrastructure?
With the corporatization of higher education, there is a need to create more projects that imagine different, less centralized modes of studying, and which take a stand for the free sharing of knowledge, unrestricted by copyrights and contracts and other economic barriers.
This project aims to provide a virtual platform through which all students can share files they've collected over time from behind paywalls and from misty corners of the online. A becoming-with in surprising relays; Knowing people through the things they share, what they value as knowledge and what is discarded.
