Movable Borders: The Reposition Matrix Workshop - at Furtherfield
Organised by Dave Young.
FREE WORKSHOP Date: Saturday 18 May 2013, 1-5pm.
In a post-national age, where "territorial and political boundaries are
increasingly permeable" [1], what has become of the borderline? How is
it defined, and what technologies are used to control it?
Movable Borders is an ongoing research project that begins to explore
possible answers to these questions through facilitating discussions
around the 'reterritorialisation' of the borderline in the information
age. Participants are invited to investigate the use of cybernetic
military systems such as remotely piloted aircraft (drones) and the
Disposition Matrix, a dynamic database of intelligence that produces
protocological kill-lists for the US Department of Defense.
The Reposition Matrix aims to reterritorialise the drone as a physical,
industrially-produced technology of war through the creation of an
open-access database: a 'reposition matrix' that geopolitically situates
the organisations, locations, and trading networks that play a role in
the production of military drone technologies.
Booking Essential.
