Artwork Poses as Holding Company to Challenge Tech Rationality, UnProductive Solutions

Over the course of ten weeks, UnProductive Solutions is launching five new technologies developed by “subsidiary companies.” Each company is an artistic project by an international artist invited to collaborate with us. This week, NO DATA INSTITUTE (founder, Tara Kelton — Bangalore, India) joins the UnPro portfolio of subsidiaries. From March 10 – March 19, their service —The Storage Search Engine™ — will connect you with a human search agent who will provide a real-time response to your search request using their personal histories, knowledge, and physical surroundings. Escape your echo chamber with instant access to minds around the globe. No data is stored.

Artists creating technologies that honour the irrationality of human emotions, and the pleasures of idleness and fortuitous occurrences are invited to pitch to UnProductive Solutions.
