In an interesting take on Paglen’s proposition to “unlearn >> to see like humans”, urban geography and architecture suddenly start to >> provoke a different kind of gaze in the participants of the Internet tour, >> who are encouraged to grasp the possible traces of the invisible >> infrastructure of the Internet in an ordinary urban space. As the tour >> proceeds, a guide tells stories and anecdotes about how this infrastructure >> was made, including the struggles, dreams, mistakes, expectations and >> accidents that made it possible. As the participants are guided through >> suburban neighbourhoods, industrial areas, highways and even beaches, they >> start to realize their roles as planners, unaware inhabitants, involuntary >> protagonists or merely passive content in the story of network >> infrastructures. >> >> Deciphering a networked planet, especially in a phase of dramatic >> exploitation and collapse such as the one we are living in, requires >> unusual vantage points outside of the traditional boundaries of academic >> disciplines, artistic or activist work, or professional practices. >> Traditional cartographies often imply a single point of view and an ordered >> representation of points on a layer, as seen from above. Experimental >> projects such as Santamaría’s are intriguing because they deliberately go >> against the grain of conventional or documentary mapping: firstly, they >> highlight the hinges and junctions between layers, instead of their >> smoothness; and, secondly, they twist their default temporal dimension. >> >> Bani Brusadin >> The Fog of Systems.
