AN ATLAS FOR UPENDING THE WORLD

There is something beautifully intriguing in the sensation of travelling places without actually going there… through hearing, reading, seeing pictures of them – and through the simple gesture of placing a finger on a map. In that sense, the map can be a rich backdrop for explorations, an activator of imagination as much as means of investigation.
What can the map and map-making, scientifically and artistically, represent in today’s rapidly transforming world of intensified data exchange and rising existential threats? As part of the Cross-Disciplinary Strategies study area Politics, Economics, and Global Change, the seminar An Atlas for Upending the World prompted students to explore urban areas as main drivers of global change, places of concentrated challenges yet home to the majority of people. Their contributions on ‘Hotspot Cities’, those growing fastest in the most critical biological areas, go beyond traditional space-bound investigation and upend (twist, overturn, flip, …) carefully researched data into essays, maps, and artworks. The atlas is an attempt to question data classes, statistical thresholds, graphic code, and info hierarchy, reinventing the map as device between freedom and constraint.

1. Ich will doch einfach nur schwimmen gehen
This film examines voyeurism in public swimming spaces in Vienna, focusing on the experiences of
FLINTA* individuals who are subjected to non-consensual watching, and the emotional, ethical,
and spatial consequences of these experiences.
The film is the result of a one-year research process that included philosophical and psychoanalytic
theory, as well as surveys and interviews with affected women.
It aims to raise awareness of this issue and encourage discussion in order to make public spaces
safer for everyone.

2. In the name of ...
In the name of terror, transparency, and truth, populist leaders like Duterte and platform capitalists like Zuckerberg have been playing god. Meta has confirmed contractual protection towards its users, while the Philippine state shares its securitization propaganda through Meta’s Ad Library and echo-chamber pages. The installation is an altar of Meta and the Philippines‘ War on Terror: the necropolitical sovereign ruler(s) at the top with repetitive prayers of algorithmic mercy on a receipt. At the bottom of the blue social media warfare’s offline dirt, 19 candles serve as a reminder of the State’s impunity from the Armed Forces of the Philippines’ recent massacre in Toboso, Negros Occidental this April. Unlit, I invite you to take these candles as a reminder to look for the absent, the killings, and the forced disappearances of Duterte and that the current Marcos regime is continuing.
