Today, we live in a world where every time we turn on our smartphones, we are
inextricably tied by data, laws and flowing bytes to different countries. A
world in which personal expressions are framed and mediated by digital
platforms, and where new kinds of currencies, financial exchange and even labor
bypass corporations and governments. Simultaneously, the same technologies
increase governmental powers of surveillance, allow corporations to extract
ever more complex working arrangements and do little to slow the construction
of actual walls along actual borders. On the one hand, the agency of
individuals and groups is starting to approach that of nation states; on the
other, our mobility and hard-won rights are under threat. What tools do we need
to understand this world, and how can art assist in envisioning and enacting
other possible futures?
