Strata-caster: An Exploration into the Topography of Power, Prestige, and Position & Joseph Farbrook in conversation with Emilie Giles

Abstract

These are things entirely constructed by mutual consent. This consent comes from being able to persuade people into believing a particular reality. As the ability to persuade is fueled by communication, democratization of voices holds the threat of tearing down hierarchical structures.

Stata-caster explores the fallout of social stratification that is contained in the collective consciousness and imported into a collectively imagined space. Entry into this installation is by wheelchair, an unfamiliar interface to the limitless expanse of virtual space, but one that continuously calls attention to limitation and position.
