"I have been thinking for some time of a machine or apparatus which could be operated by personalities which have passed on to another existence or sphere. (..) I do claim that it is possible to construct an apparatus which will be so delicate that if there are personalities in another existence or sphere who wish to get in touch with us in this existence or sphere, the apparatus will at least give them a better opportunity to express themselves than the tilting tables and raps and ouija boards and mediums and the other crude methods now purported to be the only means of communication?" - Thomas Edison, 1920
Data Ghosts is a prototype for psychic tracking on the Internet, a “digital ghostbox” which tirelessly scans the network attempting to detect phantom messages which haunt data traffic. Following in the footsteps of Friedrich Jürgenson's pioneering studies of electronic voice phenomena (EVP), this apparatus proposes a digital version, a feedback loop created between data gleaned by tapping into the network (tcpdump), and its automatic interpretation (sphynx). The system uses Internet as a giant echo chamber, data analysed not in its digital form but rather via the noise generated by the incessant flow of data.

Data Ghosts est un prototype de tracking psychique sur internet, une « ghostbox digitale » qui scanne inlassablement le réseau pour y déceler les messages fantomatiques qui hantent le trafic des données. Inspiré des travaux de Friedrich Jürgenson sur l'étude des phénomènes de voix électroniques (PVE/EVP) dont il propose une version numérique, cet « apparatus » repose sur une boucle de rétroaction entre une écoute du réseau (tcpdump) et son interprétation automatisée (sphinx). Le système utilise internet comme une chambre de résonance, et analyse les données, non pas sous leur forme numérique, mais à travers le bruit qu'elles génèrent.
