Blind Auction
Intervention, Participatory Performance
Looking at the way the value of objects is created through the stories we tell and the narratives we uphold.
We used digital platforms to explore personal connections to objects and concepts surrounding object value. eBay, Facebook Marketplace and Gumtree resisted our alternative approach to object appreciation and auctioning in attempts to deplatform us. This resistance revealed an interesting design opportunity. Designing subversive ways to exploit the loopholes in these digital systems, we were able to continue exploring conversations on object oriented ontology.
