Simon Denny. All You Need Is Data
The DLD 2012 Conference REDUX
For this project, Denny utilised the example of the conference Digital Life Design DLD – a platform for the exchange of ideas between digital media, the sciences and culture – as a way to view the recent past within a rapidly developing high-tech digital economy.
Through access to original material from DLD'S 2012 conference, the artist presented the entire content of the event from beginning to end in a large-scale installation.
In the manner of appropriation, Denny has re-used existing copies of a publication that DLD produced for 2012 to insert new content in between its pages.
