Disclaimer: a solution has not revealed itself.'
Indefinite Fidelity
We encounter these 'degraded' videos, which struggle to shuffle their blocky pixels into crisp, flat details, more frequently than not. And yet, instead of seeing their specific value, (or the beauty in these so-called low-quality images), we frame them as incomplete, signalling not their worth but their potential to be clearer and better.
Conspiring to Curate Conspiracies
Since all conspiracies are a potential threat, and we must also discuss them as cultural objects, then we must grapple with the dilemma of giving them a platform, which risks spreading or strengthening their fallacy. Thus, we face a problem in museum practices – for how can we collect, archive and display conspiracy theories for the museum-going public.
