Fotocopy.net is offered as a virtual tourism experience exploring ideas and implications of simulcrea, “the copy” as a desktop virtual environment. It explores a concept called ‘Pirate Modernity’ by Indian media theorist, Ravi Sundaram; the dissemination of the media culture through the copy as a representation of subaltern populations in the city. Combining familial archives, the apparatus of the screen, tools of leisure, context of gentrification in South Asia; this project seeks for viewers to loiter in the kitsch imaginary of corporate culture and critical analysis within a former failed tourism company of the artist’s uncle; a digitally revitalized “Trans-Pakistan Adventure Services”.
