In 2009, without any warning or notification, Amazon quietly removed electronic copies of George Orwell's 1984 from its Kindle readers due to copyright infringement. Of all the books to which this could have happened, it seemed appropriate that it happened to the very one that popularized the term "Big Brother" in reference to systems of disinformation and mass surveillance. The custom CAPTCHA system featured in this exhibition, which uses the most prominent phrases from the book 1984 to verify human interaction, is a materialization of the desire and need to create and maintain certain knowledge and resistance strategies just beyond the full reach of machines.
