The Internets

“The Internets” addresses the transformation of the Internet, from a free and open public space, into a constantly monitored area, governed by corporations. “The Internets” makes use of the temporary autonomous zone generated by the individual wifi router. This space, still uncensored, unmonitored, is a post-internet version of a free speech zone, with the wifi router acting as the metaphorical megaphone. Five routers generate five different “closed” internets, that do not intersect. These networks appear on the wifi networks screen of the user’s smart device. Once the user connects to the GOOG network, the user is unable to go to any other site outside of the Google realm. If the user wishes to check what’s new on FaceBook, the user is forced to disconnect from the GOOG network, and connect to the FB network. Trying to access the AAPL network from a Samsung device? Sorry, think again.
