Much of thickear's recent work has concerned the ethics of data collection and exchange, including the dystopian performance/installation "Ministry of Measurement", a major feature of the Barbican Centre's Hack the Barbican season in 2013, "MoM Data Exchange", which invited delegates at an ICT conference in Vilnius to exchange personal information in return for data originally provided by participants at the Barbican event, and current work "Pink Sheet Method” in which the public are encouraged to judge the value of their own data against the value of the art work itself.
