Brooke Singer, Beatriz da Costa,and Jamie Schulte discussed their ongoing collaboration.
SWIPE began as a performance and installation that focused on data gathered from driver’s licenses—a form of data-mining that businesses are starting to practice in the United States. Bars and convenience stores were the first to utilize license scanners in the name of age and ID verification. These businesses, however, admit they reap huge benefits from this practice beyond catching underage drinkers and smokers and fake IDs. With one swipe—that often occurs without notification or consent by the cardholder—a business acquires data that can be used to build a valuable consumer database free of charge.
