The following information constitutes FacePalm’s “Terms of Service Static”. Each Chapter will mandatorily familaris[rampantly.li]e each prospective user with our Conditions of [Ab]Use. You must agree to each and every permutation and following (imagined, tangential and potentially possible), as well as anything associated with all and any future modifications, musings, daydreams, vocalisations (both sub- and actual) that our illustrious leader and God-In-Kind Mr Mark[ed] SluggerBlerg may possibly, or potentially, or in passing, or has-never-actually-cogitated-over-but-in-actuality-could-have-at-any-time contemplated in any form, manner, format, style or mental shaping in any past, present, future or parallel life. If you do not agree to these Terms, you will be perpetually diverted into our custom made post-digital isolation pit, and your digital [im]print will be consistently and deliberately shunted into continual obsolescence.

_How we [ab]use the fomented firehosings we receive:_

Although we prot[ej]ect the in[de]form.[decaying.n]ation[states] we receive about you, we also use the information we r[|d]eceive about you in conn[d]ec[ep]tion with the serVi[le.fae]ces and features we provide to you and other [ab]use[d]rs like your friends, our [smothering.&.slavering.]partners, the advertisers that pur[r.long.and.moolah.hard. &.]chase [u+ur.right-re]ads on the s[violently.strangling.n]ite[s], and the dE[n]velopers that bu[s]i[Eve+AdaMe]ld the games, a[su]pplications, and websites you use. For [a.rotten+sodden]ex[s]ample, in addition to h[Y]elping [thru.Ra]pe[d.lo]op[ho]le[s,.we] see[the] and fi[cklE]nd things that you do and [do not ]share, we[eping] may[be/constantly] use the information we r[d]eceive about you:

• As[pretend.guardians,] part of our efforts to keep [in.ur.]FacePalm’s products, s[lurred.&decaying.s]ervices and inte[deni]grations safe[ty.free] and sec[All]ur[ing]e;

• To pro[t|]ject FacePalm’s or [any.]others [we.deem.can.take.ur.data] rights or property;

• To prov[s]id[l]e[up.2.] you with lO[ily.in]ca[n]t[at]ion features and services, like telling you and your friends wh[at.2.do,.how.2.breathe,.how.2.think.+.make.shrunk]en something is going on nearby;

• To m[r]ea[ity.as]sure or understand the eff[inv]ectiveness of ads you and others see, including to de-Liver[&.de-Kidney.&de-Heart.ur.privacy.bodies.with.toxically] relevant ads;

• To make s[l]ug[slime-like.in]gestions to you and [all] other users on FacePalm, such as: sug[con(ned)]gesting that your “friend” [ab]use our con[No]Tact im[de]porter because you found friends [ab]using it, s[hame.s]uggesting that another [addicted]user add you as a friend because the [ab]user im[de]ported the same [privacy.rough.shodding]email address as you did, or suggesting that your friend t[info.fr]ag you in a picture they have uploaded with you in it; and

• For int[f]ernal [t]op[+.bottom.+inverse.desp]erations, including tr[d]oubleshooting[any.deviations], data analysis, [Gro]tes[que(uing)]ting, research and ser[de-]Vice Imp[s.+.Devils.g]rove[lling.mo]ment[s]. G[Self]Ranting us perm[anent.+.irrevocable.+.*soul* .cementing.adm]ission[s] to use your [s]information not only [G]allows us to pro[di]vide FacePalm as it exists today, but it also [sw]allows [yo]u[into.perpetually.documented.hell]s to prov[s]ide[line] you with [ultimately.b]inn[able.+.b]ov[ine.loc]ative f[ractiously.sh]eat[hed(onist.l)]ures and services [u.don’t.need.&.]we develop in the future that use the information we r[d]eceive about you in ne[a]w[fully.caged] ways.

While you [d]are [to] [swallow.+.let.us.data.snap.u,.giv]ing us t[he.right.t]o use the information we receive about you, you [(meaning.*us*).wIll.] always o[p]wn all of your inform[l(c)ess.pit.dil]ation. Your t[Cognitive]Rust is important to us, which is why we don’t [openly.inform.you.about.how.we.sell.ur.digital.scent.and.market.]share information we receive about you with others.

_FacePalm Termination:_

If you violate the letter[,.word,.space,.punctuation,.emoticon.or.symbol] or spirit[.voodoo,.hoodoo,.dogmatic,.orthodox,.and.all.other.forms] of this St[G]ate[d.detach]ment, or otherwise create [f]risk[y.trouble.for.us] or possible legal exposure for us, we can stop providing all or part of FacePalm to you [,.but.we.will.retain.ur.data.&.everything.about.u.that.u. *ever*.logged.with.us,.forever]. We will [k]notify you by [stringing.up.ur.info.in2.unzippable.dross. &] email or at the next time you attempt to access your account [,.confuse.u.with.jargonesque. detritus]. You may also [attempt.2]delete your account or disable your application at any time[:.good.luck.with.that!]. In all such cases, this ToSS shall [s(h)elf.de]terminate, but the following provisions will still apply: 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, 4-5, 5-6, 6-7, 7-8, 8-9, 9-10, ad[denDum(b)>]infinitum>etcetera.

_FacePalm Privacy:_

Your privacy is [(k)not.at.all] important to us. We deSig[h.+.snigger.+.know.u.r.con]ned [by] our Data [ab]Use Poli[t|]cy to make important disclo[info.stitches.&.]S[ut]ures about how you can use FacePalm to [be.en]s[nared.by.us.the.Fox,.&.u.the.]Hare with others, and how we coll[inj]ect[u.+.urs.in2.our.permanent.records.] and [ab]use your content and [lure.u.to.purge.more]information.

_Sharing Your Con[ned]tent and [De]Information:_

You [.-.meaning.”we”.-.]own all of the con[ned]tent and [de]information you p[l]ost on FacePalm, and you can[(k)not] conTrol[l] how it is shared through your priVac[uousl]y and [T]app[ed.supp]lication settings. In [m]addition:

1. For con[ned]tent that is c[sm]o[thered.o]vered by intellectual prop[p]e[d.up.pube]rty rights, like ph[g]o[-]tos and videos (IP{inged} con{ned}tent), you specifically “give” us the fo[u]ll[harr]owing permission[s], subject to your priVac[uous]y and [T]app[ed.supp]lication settings: you grant us a non-trans[pre]ferable, sub-lI[n]censable, royalty-laden, world[.+.universe.+.galaxy.+.solar.system,.infinitum>etcetera.]wide license to use any IP con[ned]tent that you post on or in[.or.thru.or.inbetween.or.imaginary.or.invisible.or.as-yet-actualised] connection with FacePalm (IP License). This IP License [never.ever.]ends when you delete your IP con[ned]tent or your [never.brought.2]account unless your con[ned]tent has been [en]s[nared.by.us.the.Fox,.+.u.the.]Hare with others, and they have not deleted it.

2. When you [attempt.to.fruitlessly.]delete IP content, it is [un]deleted in a manner similar to emptying the recycle bin on a computer[:that.is,.truly.never]. However, you unDer[p]stand that remOve[r.used]d con[ned]tent may peR[e]sist[deletion] in bAck[!]up copies for[ever,.*not*.] a reasonable periOd[d] of time.

3. WHen [u,.the.housed.fodder.are] using an [S]application, the a[su]pplication may ask for your permission to access your con[ned]tent and in[de]formation as well as con[ned]tent and in[de]formation that others have shared with you. We require [T]app[ing.ur.app]lications to resp[In(e)j]e[st,.however.adjun]ct[,] your privac[uousn(m)ess(il)]y, and you’re a[e]gre[gious]E[le]ment with that a[su]pplication will control how the [s]application can [ab]use, store, and trans[inter]fer[e.with] that con[ned]tent and information.

Her works are archived in collections held by The World Bank, Cornell’s Rose Goldsen Archive and the National Library of Australia. Mez’s Virtual Reality Experience “Our Cupidity Coda” was a Finalist in the 2018 EX Experimental New Media Art Awards, and in November 2017 her VR sculpture “This Golden Stance” was showcased at the 2017 Las Ranetas International Festival of Virtual Reality. In 2016, Mez took up an invite from the digital arts organisation Rhizome to have her work memorialized in their Net Art Anthology. Her co-developed narrative game “All the Delicate Duplicates” has won multiple awards, including the 2015 Tumblr International Digital Arts and Media Prize, 2016 Best Overall Game at the Game City Festival, and 2017 Game Design Award in the Best Experimental Game Category.
