They perform a psychoanalysis without either psyche or analysis for an age of automation in which production is augmented by wholesale fabrication.

They are documentary expressions of society’s views of itself, seized through the chaotic capture and large-scale kidnapping of data. And they rely on vast infrastructures of polluting hardware and menial and disenfranchised labour, exploiting political conflict as a resource.”
