The Status Project
The Status Project is a database of DIY strategies to meet the bureaucratic requirements for the possession of official identification—from birth certificates to passports—allowing its users to create or dissolve identities as well as to merge two different identities.
The Status Project is a new web-based project by one of the founders of net-based art. It consists of a database of Do-It-Yourself strategies to meet the bureaucratic requirements for the possession of official identification - from birth certificates to passports -- allowing its users to create or dissolve identities as well as to merge two different peoples’ identities. Large-scale prints plot a user’s official status creating maps not based on residency, citizenship or birthright but on mobility.
