RAKE Collective Launch

RAKE is a visual research collective using open source data to investigate a variety of unseen and obscured elements in society, business and politics. Exploring themes including human rights violations, government censorship, hidden histories, corruption, surveillance and bureaucratic violence. RAKE pushes the boundaries of traditional photography and reportage, using evolving investigation techniques to inform visual and multimedia projects and develop the interface between art, politics and the internet.

RAKE Collective

RAKE is a new visual research collective that uses open source data to investigate and visualise a variety of unseen and obscured subjects across society, business and politics, including human rights violations, government censorship, hidden histories, corruption, surveillance and bureaucratic violence. RAKE pushes the boundaries of traditional photojournalism and reportage, using evolving investigation techniques to inform visual and multimedia projects.
Data and research driven stories are at the leading edge of modern journalistic practice and RAKE takes an alternative approach to that of Western mass media. We aim to create an autonomous platform for writers, artists and researchers and facilitate members’ investigations, data visualisation, collaborative and individual projects. RAKE encourages politically and socially driven work and seeks to stimulate the contributions of diverse voices, providing a framework for collaboration with other like minded people.  
 
<H2>You are invited to RAKE's launch party!</H2>
Join us at AMP Gallery any time between 6pm and 9pm on the 28th February for the official launch of RAKE, where we will be showing our most recent individual projects and introducing the collective to visitors. Work-in-progress from our current collaborative project, an investigation into the SQL database leak from Iron March, a now-defunct neo-Nazi/white supremacist message board, will be unveiled for the first time.
Launch night tickets are free, and food and drink will be provided, but booking is essential.
The exhibition will be open to the public for the rest of the leap year weekend from 10am to 6pm each day and tickets are not needed. Follow @rake.collective on Instagram for more info!
