摘要
本文对詹姆斯-纽威特(James Newitt)于 2023 年创作的数字视频装置作品《HAVEN》进行了细读。文章分析了该作品讨论隐私、监控和数字数据管理问题的方式。纽威特的作品讲述了北海萨福克海岸边一座废弃的防空塔如何先被改造成海盗电台,然后又被改造成数据避难所的故事;这是一个服务器集合体,旨在规避早期的互联网监管。本文研究了从米歇尔-塞雷斯(Michel Serres)那里借用的 "嘈杂"(noisisy)概念的多种理解方式,认为纽维特的作品最有创造性的地方在于提出了一种(自动)免疫理论,这种理论将当代以可见性为中心的隐私讨论(德里达、福柯)复杂化了。本文从监视模式出发,借鉴菲利普-E-阿格雷(Philip E. Agre)的研究成果,试图通过 "捕获 "这一概念来理解《哈瓦》中可见的权力动态。文章认为,《HAVEN》的诗学在美学和内容方面都很有意义,因为它们审视了当代互联网的地域逻辑及其与帝国的联系。
Data that Should Not Have Been Given: Noise and Immunity in James Newitt’s HAVEN
This article performs a close reading of HAVEN, a 2023 digital video installation by James Newitt. It analyses the way in which the work discusses issues around privacy, surveillance, and the management of digital data. Newitt’s work tells the story of how an abandoned anti-aircraft defence tower off the Suffolk coast in the North Sea was turned first into a pirate radio station and then into a data haven; a collection of servers meant to avoid early Internet regulation. Investigating the many ways in which HAVEN can be understood as noisy, a concept borrowed from Michel Serres, this article proposes that Newitt’s work is at its most generative in its suggestion of a theory of (auto-)immunity that complicates contemporary discussions of privacy centred on visibility (Derrida, Foucault). Moving away from a model of surveillance, and drawing on the work of Philip E. Agre, this text seeks to understand the dynamics of power made visible in HAVEN with reference to the notion of capture. The article proposes that HAVEN’s poetics are of interest both aesthetically and in terms of content as they examine a contemporary territorial logic of the Internet and its connections to empire.
