Display At Your Own Risk: The Metadata

This book contains the Exif, XMP, and IPTC metadata extract ed from the 100 digital surrogates featured in Display At Your Own Risk, an online exhibition experiment. In some cases, the metadata is extensive, almost overwhelming; in others, little to no metadata was embedded in the digital surrogate's file at all. Preparing this book to accompany the Display At Your Own Risk exhibition made us realise that metadata can be beautiful. We hope you find beauty here too.
