Most PP make use of linguistic strategies to, by design, obfuscate their true meaning. The use of legal jargon, coupled with premeditated vagueness, in a writing composed of long and winding sentences, results in texts that in many cases reach college-level (and up) reading requirements.1<\/sup>\r\n\r\nWe propose to use the text from the PP of online digital platforms as source material for several small multimedia object-pieces. Those objects will emphasize the unintelligible quality of the policies, will be created for the main medium each platform emphasizes (sound, image, text, video), and hosted on the platform itself.\r\n\r\nHere is a preliminary selection of platforms to be used and pieces to be created:\r\n\r\n\u2013 Twitter: bot that tweets the PP letter by letter, during four weeks (the duration of the residency).\r\n\u2013 YouTube: ASMR reading of a printed copy of the PP, but everytime the word \u201cprivacy\u201d appears the video gets 10% faster.\r\n\u2013 Bandcamp: album with tracks created by heavily editing and processing a recorded narration of the PP, such as: all words superimposed to sound at the same time; all words superimposed to sound at the same time, but time stretched to the time it takes to read the whole PP; the whole PP read in 1 second.\r\n\u2013 Whatsapp: chatbot that, once it receives a word, will reply with all sentences where that word occurs in the PP.\r\n\u2013 Facebook: page that posts daily a markov chain generated version of the PP, where every word is a link to an online dictionary with the definition of that word.\r\n\r\nAn aggregator website for the project will be created, with general info about the project and links to the different platforms hosting each individual piece. The landing page for the project will contain a yet unknown piece that makes use of all PP from all platforms at the same time, along with the Akademie Schloss Solitude data privacy declaration we\u2019re agreeing to by submitting the present document.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nMagno Caliman is a Brazilian sound artist and multimedia performer currently living and working in Portugal, with a practice heavily rooted in the embracing of programming languages as places for poetical speculation, as well as the construction, modification and manipulation of electronic circuits.
