Not everything adds up. A people are never equal to a listing of their bodies. They are something more and something less than a population. Counting counter to the reasons of state, Raj Konai, a peasant from nineteenth century Bengal, the owner of the floating trace of a disembodied hand indexed in a distant archive, persists in his arithmetic. The handprint of Raj Konai was taken in 1858 under the orders of William Herschel &#8211; scientist, statistician, and at the time, a revenue official with the Bengal government. It was sent by Herschel to Francis Galton, a London eugenicist and pioneer of identification technologies. It is currently in the custody of the Francis Galton Collection of the University College of London. This is where the Raqs collective first encountered the image of Raj Konai\u2019s hand. Fingerprinting experiments, and later technologies, all began with this handprint. India has now embarked on a nationwide Unique Identification Database (UID) and plans to have its billion soon counted and indexed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/works.raqsmediacollective.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-118.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"964\" src=\"https:\/\/works.raqsmediacollective.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-118.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9734\" srcset=\"https:\/\/works.raqsmediacollective.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-118.png 640w, https:\/\/works.raqsmediacollective.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-118-300x452.png 300w, https:\/\/works.raqsmediacollective.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-118-332x500.png 332w, https:\/\/works.raqsmediacollective.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-118-16x24.png 16w, https:\/\/works.raqsmediacollective.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-118-24x36.png 24w, https:\/\/works.raqsmediacollective.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-118-32x48.png 32w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:8px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped uag-masonry uagb-block-4e87bb1b wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/works.raqsmediacollective.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-119.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"9736\" src=\"https:\/\/works.raqsmediacollective.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-119.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9736\" srcset=\"https:\/\/works.raqsmediacollective.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-119.png 1024w, https:\/\/works.raqsmediacollective.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-119-640x427.png 640w, https:\/\/works.raqsmediacollective.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-119-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/works.raqsmediacollective.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-119-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/works.raqsmediacollective.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-119-750x500.png 750w, https:\/\/works.raqsmediacollective.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-119-24x16.png 24w, https:\/\/works.raqsmediacollective.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-119-36x24.png 36w, https:\/\/works.raqsmediacollective.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-119-48x32.png 48w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/works.raqsmediacollective.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-120.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" data-id=\"9738\" src=\"https:\/\/works.raqsmediacollective.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-120.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9738\" srcset=\"https:\/\/works.raqsmediacollective.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-120.png 1024w, https:\/\/works.raqsmediacollective.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-120-640x426.png 640w, https:\/\/works.raqsmediacollective.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-120-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/works.raqsmediacollective.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-120-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/works.raqsmediacollective.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-120-751x500.png 751w, https:\/\/works.raqsmediacollective.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-120-24x16.png 24w, https:\/\/works.raqsmediacollective.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-120-36x24.png 36w, https:\/\/works.raqsmediacollective.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-120-48x32.png 48w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:198px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guesswork Frith Street Gallery, London (2012) The works featured in\u00a0Guesswork\u00a0invite the viewer to consider what it means to measure infinity and to seize time rather than to be captive to the passing moment.
