MKDIR - Searching For Cyberspace
2021 - 2022

Contemporary digital culture permeates the porous fabric of our urban habitats. It shapes our existence, structures our lives and modulates our relationships. Amidst tenebrous dreams of a digital totality, we must confront the evolving potential and deepening malaise this creates. To this end we explore the ethical and social implications of the digital trinity - data, hardware, software - in an intimately interconnected world. How do the binary tendons of our social reality reproduce themselves in the built environment? What conception of individuality and collectivity will find itself reflected in the city of tomorrow? In effect, how do we reconcile the creation of tangible and intangible space?

Cyberspace is representational
Cyberspace is a cultural technique
Cyberspace is spatial
Cyberspace is political
Cyberspace is infrastructure

.......................

MKDIR [makedirectory] was a one-year research project in cooperation with Janosch B. Weber in which we explored the relationship between differing aspects of Cyberspace as cultural construct and physical/infrastructural manifestation. Lecture & Workshop at the Werkstattpalast festival in Karlsruhe September 2022. Supported by the Berlin Academy of Arts.
