M9: The Monopoly of Legitimate Use: Blackspot
Tobias Revell
Sažetak
In Blackspot, part of the film trilogy The Monopoly of Legitimate Use, businesswoman leaves the City in search of a blackspot, a near-fabled place where network coverage drops out so that she can receive a secret and important message over an independent mesh network. Blackspot looks at how moving through physical space can also mean moving through networked space, and how in an age of privacy concerns and overt sharing, the use of this space become more important. The purpose of the film and the others in the trilogy was to expose the connection between network and geography and speculate on fable-like stories in which this relationship becomes important. Dependence on our devices as socially mediating technologies that act as portals to network infrastructure has the inverse effect of allowing the huge infrastructures a great view into our own lives. Although the film is not expressly about surveillance culture, it suggests a time when we live somewhat alienated and distrustful of what we’re letting into our lives through our devices, and suggests how we might begin to move about the landscape in response.
