We are for ever talking about globalization and connectivity, but meanwhile we are busy dividing the world up into semi-autonomous zones.
Swamped by good intentions and strategies of fear, the spatial interweave of programme and meaning is being picked apart, divided up, separated into distinct areas. Military islands, refugee islands, floating islands - the list is endless. Zones named according to their function.
This thematization of space is leading to a spatial apartheid, a universal archipelago of 'scripted spaces' separated by hard boundaries and strict checkpoints.
An event about monocultures and your multiplicity.
