Bawdesy: A Hauntology of Technical Objects

It has long been recognised that spaces can be haunted by ghosts; past events that linger, making their presence felt and acting on the present.

It is less well known that technical objects are also haunted by ghosts, autonomous technological spectres.

A Brief investigation into the everyday technology embedded in a debit card revealed that the enclosed Proximity Integrated Circuit Card (PICC) has kinship with radars, Computers, and Plutonium-239, and suggested a journey that leads amongst other places from London, via the Los Alamos National Laboratory, and eventually to Bawdesy Manor on the Suffolk coast, where Sir Watson-Watt developed the first operational radar defence systems.
