The status project intends to make visible our collective regulatory systems for the purpose of broader and more precise understanding of their shape and function plus our place and scale within them. The key intention for the project is to provide greater individual mobility and freedom within often confusing and often intentionally obstructing organisational substructures and systems.

The work is triangulated from the Buddhist idea feeling that we are only the summation of our environmental factors; from the cyber punk hacker fantasy of self power and freedom by finding the password or key phrase; and from the techno mysticism of finding the spirit within the machine.

Navigating the system requires skill and patience. People often risk frustration, humiliation and criminalisation just to survive within such a disorientating terrain. I intend to develop tools to not only alleviate these risks, but to also enable people to fly. Identity manipulation, mutation and creation are enshrined in UK law, but are obviously under constant enclosure from corrupt elites. Within this project I intend to locate these fences and create gates in them.
