'Primitives' by Alan Warburton continues exclusively on POSTmatter. Read our interview with him now, in association with WeTransfer: http://postmatter.com/#/currents/stand-out-from-the-crowd

"The funny thing is that when I was learning the software and trying to push for some sort of “emergent” or unexpected behaviours, I constantly felt directed, herded, kettled into certain workflows - just like the crowds I was trying to control. The software was shaping my behaviour as much as I was trying to shape the crowd's behaviour. I felt a strange solidarity with the “primitives” and started to consider how culture itself is like software – parameterised, full of norms and conventions for behaviour that it's hard to operate outside of. It was a Borgesian, Charlie Kaufman moment, for sure." 'Primitives' by Alan Warburton continues, in which he sets out to challenge the existing parameters of crowd simulation software: http://postmatter.com/#/currents/stand-out-from-the-crowd

Primitives

"In a way, software is the modern manifestation of cultural production, so mapping the labyrinthine, contradictory spaces of software is mapping culture itself" - Alan Warburton is interviewed this week in POSTmatter: http://postmatter.com/#/currents/stand-out-from-the-crowd
