Without addresses (variant 4): Difference between revisions

In variant 1 of ''without addresses'' the users were able to generate new html pages. Those are commonly called 'user entries' in the documentation and the wiki texts. In variant 1 total of 37.843 documents and 684 MB data were generated over the course of documenta x. After the end of documenta no other variant was able to generate new entries.

The generated pages were created by an algorithmus which searched online and created a new page. The images found were very difirent in nature - from photographs, logos of companies, parts of webdesign (such as parts of menus, division lines, simple background images which were used as 'tiles',

The reconstruction team has decided to select only a portion of the original user entries. Devided into 4 groups the team has reviewed the original entries and decided to include 946 entries. There were selected in a way to represent the deversity of the generated pages. The selection should allow the viewer to understand the general nature of the pages. For work on such a big database of data an automatic data analysis might be an interesting tool.

For the variant 4 the reconstruction team faced a new challenge - the protection of copyrights and private data in the user generated pages. After a long discussion and an external legal advice, the reconstruction team decided to anonymize the selected user entries. Even though this was a big interventition into the original files, the anonymization ensures that the reconstruction team and especially artists will remain protected from future legal actions. Since without addresses variant 4 is available under the CC-BY-ND<ref>https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/deed.de</ref> licence it was the only option to avoid any potential risks.
