We make systems, those systems work for us

Some files are missing somewhere and some documents lost. Some altered or distorted beyond recognition.

Why? 

How? 

Who did it? 

And when?

It has been happening for a long time. I just realized it a bit late or too late? But I guess nothing is late, if we wanna correct. 

My first such experience was in PhD, when I lost my whole thesis from my personal computer as well as the lab computer. Though, it was recovered after some efforts but took time and got back in pieces. The same is happening till today. Due to some such losses, continuous corrupted or lost files, I lost interest in research itself rather correct word Molecular research as the working environment was not any better in the lab also. Since then moved to Genomics and Proteomics, Diagnostics and Bioinformatics, but in vain? 

It did not stop there. From there surveillance uses and abuses, impact of that on humans, political diseases and assisted suicides and murders looked like deaths. I watched and experienced the world, like sitting amid crematorium or mortuary at world level and surrounded by so many big eagles and predators especially during corona time. A different world, beyond imagination. 

Till now the RTI activist in me had moved to the media. And moving to the media was for better I guess. This Media, not only opened my eyes to a different world but to some very harsh realities of our world. Interestingly, it also connected me back to my own field in an amazing way. Rather than further moving away from my field, it acted like a bridge.

The technology and knowledge can be used and abused as per user's intentions. Science, technology and interdisciplinary knowledge can lead the world for better or can destroy humanity itself. It's media culture lab at social level, which determines the fate of living beings at some particular place. It's media culture at social level along with surveillance uses and abuses which is designing and engineering society by using humans like some robots. Politics, tech world and intelligentia nexus have perfected the art and craft to design media culture of any place or person. And, I was there at the Media Culture Lab at Social Level, Designing and Engineering of Society and Human Robotics. Since last few years, this is my work place.

A work place, in great grandpa’s khandhar? A workplace, which does not have a proper water pipeline, electricity meter and even a bathroom? A workplace, where electricity has direct connection to outside wire, even after repeated requests to install a meter to the concerned department. A workplace, where even having a proper water connection pipeline becomes such an uphill task that even after the last 2-3 years efforts, that pipeline is nowhere. A workplace, which has no paint, whose roof leaks in the rainy season. A workplace, where one has to encounter creepy crawly creatures like lizards, small snakes, centipedes, so many types of spiders, ants and insects like wasps, mosquitoes, at times even bats inside the room, not just outside. The outside place is for bigger birds and animals parades like eagles, monkeys, children doing wall climbing, crossing roofs for different coloured ball chasing dramas, even after strict warnings. Getting a human helper here is a difficult task. Even if I got somehow, then there are so many removers in the surrounding. Rather, I must say political parties. Why not use machines as home helpers? Electricity voltage high and low dramas are too much for their proper functioning. Water is not just saline but toxic. Someone could survive winters here but summers? Uff Uff Garmi! It burns, literally burns. And they call that vitiligo? What the hell will skin do in such an environment? Human skin or even hair are not designed to tolerate such high temperatures by nature. State mirrors? What type of mirrors state creates? It creates media culture of any person or place in such a way that biological processes follow the designed paths of so-called diseases in so many forms. 

Designers have perfected the art and craft of engineering the desired architecture and environment. It includes everything we can watch, hear, smell, feel, observe or experience. The water we drink, the food we eat, the air we breath, the kind of people or infrastructure we are surrounded by. Minute design details and feel is like what kind of hell is this?
