bureaudechange uses media sharing apps as cultural form and vehicle for the circulation of indexical collections, as data sets of found ‘objects’, captured in suspended moments of categorising, coding and decoding
individual objects are tagged with physical material properties hinting at possible outmoded past or future currencies
genre conventions of presentation and display are deployed where there are indications of clues in detective fiction; or interpretive processes implicit in ethnographic display of cultural objects; or of artefacts laid out in a forensic investigation: ultimately leaving open-ended systems evoking possible imagined narratives, histories, geographies, underpinned by implicit processes of mapping and association
the process of exhibiting concurrently in both real physical and virtual gallery spaces resonates with Benjamin discourse (1935?) around sense perception experience regarding the relationship of the object to its field of vision within moments of time/space
