LIKE THE SELFIE PHENOMENON, SELF-TRACKING FEEDS OUR DESIRE TO AFFIRM OUR EXISTENCE. WE ALL WANT TO MAKE A MARK, LEAVE OUR

FOOTPRINT BEHIND IN THE SNOW.

“I used to play lots of XBox racing games with my dad - until he died, when I was just 6. I couldn’t touch that console for 10 years. But once I did, something

incredible happened. I found a GHOST.”

@JAZZPAZZ

@JAZZPAZZ

OUR DATA IS LIKE A GHOST DRIVER. THE MARKS WE’RE MAKING, THE

TRACES WE’RE LEAVING, THEY’RE ALL TURNED INTO THIS RECORDING OF OURSELVES, OUR IDENTITY. AND WE CAN OBSERVE IT, OR EVEN COMPETE

WITH IT IF WE CHOOSE.
