This is a further text. Dummy text: The work of the artist Paolo Cirio intersects with matters of copyright, privacy, transparency, and corporate finance. His project Loophole for All exposed the practice of tax evasion in the Cayman Islands by counterfeiting Certificate of Incorporation documents. Despite the obvious use of irony, an important aspect of Cirio’s work is how he names himself in the process. Cirio is not an anonymous hacker, but a self-declared artist. This article contextualizes Cirio’s work in terms of a structuralist account of culture and society and a suggested ‘data turn’. It draws on Lévi-Strauss’ early work in constructing databases for structural analysis of cultural narrative as means to pose questions about how ‘anonymity’ underlines subversive art practices of the twentieth century and contemporary protest groups, which arguably undermine attempts to affect change. By contrast the work of artists such as Cirio pose new challenges by implicating us in newly fashioned data structures.
