border_ctrl – Internet Border Control (IBC)

Category Members Scripts People Posted on:

Created by Saurabh Datta, border_ctrl explores future government agency, created to keep tabs of internet browsing of individuals. To keep a healthy control of one's online activities, Internet Border Control [IBC] runs a daemon on individual's computers.

The need for visas for certain country, for some citizens, is for safety of the foreign land from the traveller. Meaning, a visa is needed to keep tabs on a persons activities in the intended country, if he/she creates any damage. But today he or she doesn't need to be physically present in a country to cause chaos to the land.

In the cybernetic realm, presence and agency do not necessarily need or mean a body to be there. Why bodies need visa while telepresence does not? How will digital bodies change perception of traveling?
