Next Generation Internet Summit, Brussels, 2017:
In June 2017 Simon Denny was invited to the “Next Generation Internet Summit; A European Strategy For The Next Generation Internet”, at the European Parliament. The summit hosted a range of thinkers and parliamentarians reflecting on the Internet and the ideal role of the Parliament in this domain in the future.
Denny initiated a performance addressing the role of feedback in parliament and online in media, messaging and debates. He invited artists and critics to contribute to an improvised live feedback stream, reacting to every presentation in a group chat resembling a twitter feed. Visual facilitator Nora Herting was then hired to summarize this feed and the official voices in the summit into a series of illustrations in real time – performing the position of today’s Internet user, forced to synthesize official narratives from news services or politicians and competing counter-narratives from a cacophony of social channels. The resulting drawings document an experiment in the value of critical feedback as an independent service, where organizations are alerted to possible positive and negative narratives that could be drawn from their official messaging. This service could render troll-like practices valuable as an auditing service.
Here these drawings are presented as a sculptural summary of the Parliament’s Summit, alongside a video created for the event, which reflects on the limits of technological responses to political problems and who has agency in today’s communication technology infrastructure.
