Tony D. Sampson (aka Virality) discusses IOCOSE's work in relation to theories of crowd contagion, 28 June 2012

"I think both Tarde and IOCOSE’s latest project have something far more appealing to say about crowd contagion than memes or social proof, particularly in terms of a social theory in which molar individuals or biologically hardwired gene-memes are not the starting point of analysis, but instead we begin with the vital (and invisible) force of encounter (manipulated or not) occurring in what is assembled (the network or the crowd)."

A Crowded Apocalypse reviewed on Artribune

Italian online platform Artribune interviews IOCOSE about A Crowded Apocalypse, commissioned by AND Festival and Furtherfield, and featuring in Invisible Forces at Furtherfield Gallery.

"The outcome is an attempt to show how the dehumanised and fragmented tasks of crowdsourcing can be used to investigate the anxieties connected to the social life of the nameless and solitary worker of the network era."
