9. "Fragmentary orphan online images make up the paint box of a contemporary artist – to infuse with purpose and
meaning, to recombine and root to a specific place and time. There is documentation of anything waiting to be
found. An endless archive of images awaits the artist. To create from it is to remember, not just to recall."
Joanne McNeil, “Endless Archive”
"the artists featured in this exhibition counter the database, understood as a structure of dehumanized power, with
the collection, as a form of idiosyncratic, unsystematic, and human memory. They collect what interests them,
whatever they feel can and should be included in a meaning system. They describe, critique, and finally
challenge the dynamics of the database, forcing it to evolve."

“I would drop [my laptop] off a cliff without hesitation (a computer is just one of many portals to the
INFOspirit). The seeds of my data are already safely spread across the web, and this data is
what concerns me.”
“This site is dedicated to the glory of the INFOspirit. Nothing on this website do I retain personal
rights or ownership to, since everything I offer up is a rearranged incarnation of the INFOspirit
which binds us all. You may use anything from this site as you see fit, without consulting me or
asking me.”
