Daniel Everett’s Security Questions

Daniel Everett’s Security Questions addresses a divide between the complexity of a person, a situation, or nature itself, and the systems we use to organize and assess them. Asking how can an individual be understood by an indifferent system – what is left of an individual within an algorithm?

The title, Security Questions then becomes more about the mental state of feeling secure, or insecure, as opposed to the literal meaning. Through this realization, the complexity of who we are, and the anxiety caused using the system, become apparent.
