Drawing on online as well as community resources, ADVICE WELL TAKEN: Folk tales of digital salvation intends to create an ethnography, documenting the folk strategies around the uses of technology, with a specific focus on saving damaged or dying devices, and the sharing of mythologies to explain the obfuscated workings of algorithms used in social media applications. The project will take the shape of a book as well as a video piece. While the intended publication will aim to document socially adapted ‘strategies’ — ways individuals ‘protect themselves’ from algorithms, as well as how to protect devices from whatever disasters may occur to them or ultimately how to repair a broken device. The video will document the interviews performed in gathering information for the publication itself, as well as containing found footage from the internet — where most of ‘techlore’ (folklore about technology) is shared.
