Banner RepeaterMarija Bozinovska Jones Megan Snowe Huw Lemmey and Michael Oswell Caroline Sinders Ami Clarke De-leb is a group exhibition with artists, technologists and writers. De-leb explores the unacknowledged currency of data accrued through analysis of the quantified self, that buys participation through the protocols of platform capitalism, the repurposing of which derives value in a myriad of opaque ways. De-leb takes it’s name from the situation that a de-leb - a dead celebrity - typically enjoys more data choice from beyond the grave i.e. they have more agency over the deployment of their data: name, image, the very idea of them, and the products that may be associated with them - than those still living. de-leb considers the currency of data, through the capacity to broker personal data through smart contracts, opening up through a thought experiment, questions regarding existing value systems that mean that data operates as an unacknowledged form of currency buying access and participation in a variety of ways. Developed by Ami Clarke in collaboration with Paul Purgas, and Tom Pearson, with software development/coding by Tom Kobialka. Previous contributors have included: Tom Clark, Paul Purgas, Alessandro Ludovico, Karen Di Franco, Ruth Catlow, Ben Vickers, Tom Pearson, Malavika Rajnarayan, Prayas Abhinav and Satya Gummuluri.
