Since You Were Born
ISBN-13: 9781291788846 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 212 str.
Since You Were Born is a book composed of the chronological history of every website visited on the artist's computer over a three month period beginning with the birth of his daughter Octavia (July 19, 2013). It thus belongs to the genre that once someone called "autobotography" it shows a portion of the artist's life as it is preserved by bots - in this case, the "Chronology" function of the browser. A family album, a record of personal memories, and a picture of the internet at a given time, Since You Were Born is also an attempt to turn visible the invisible practice of profiling, turning it into a form - both effective and ineffective - of portraiture. Evan Roth is an American artist based in Paris whose work explores the relationship between misuse and empowerment. Roth's work is informed by the misuse of seemingly rigid structures and the effect that philosophies from hacker communities can have when applied to non-digital systems. To find him online, just google ""bad ass mother fucker."
