ULTRA/INFRAstructures: Landscapes of Capitalism
Through postindustrial landscapes to contemporary data infrastructures ︎
Industrial and computational infrastructures are not neutral technological developments, but ideological systems that reorganise agency, ecology, and temporality under capitalism. Through postindustrial landscapes and contemporary data infrastructures, this performance lecture explores how modernity continuously imposes alien architectures onto communities and environments while simultaneously producing myths of progress.
