Bureau of Inverse Technology (B.I.T.)
The Bureau of Inverse Technology, originally constructed as an anonymous guerrilla group, intervene in the emergent techniques and technologies of our age. The bureau works with Information Technology as its primary material, re-engineering technical systems to address the hidden politics of technology. The anonymity was in part a strategy to reflect on the anonymity of technical production – the diffused accountability and ethnographic anonymity in which information technologies and software are generally produced. Its media products include economic indices, consumer level network and visualisation devices as well as vision videos, sound works, and specialised installations.
