Hard Copy Soft Copy — impermeable domains
Maria van der Togt’s (Haarlem, the Netherlands, 1997) work is an exploration into the spatial implications of data architecture—continuously dissecting the digital structures that guide our on- and offline interactions. 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, according to van der Togt. The project Hard Copy Soft Copy — impermeable domains aims to provide a virtual platform through which all students can share files they have collected over time from behind paywalls and from misty corners of the internet. A process of becoming-with occurs: getting to know people through the things they share, what they value as knowledge, and what they discard.
