Who builds the city? Is a video collage questioning issues of access, urbanity, class and architecture. The coming together of three independent threads of research from each collaborator, the collage aims to probe questions of what structural conditions shape ‘the urban’ and what sides of city-life may be invisibilised under the glossy imaginary of ‘perfect’ urbanity. What might this invisibilisation suggest about the relationship between capitalism, urbanism, and the technologies shaping how we live together? Rather than provide answers, the collage seeks to open up space for the creation of new questions. This, in part, emerged through the process behind the collage, which sought to combine three diverging styles and threads of research into a visual manifestation of curiosity (how does our work all relate together?). In many senses, who builds the city? is an ongoing experimentation with how visuals, ideas, and research wire togethering – and what this might say about the ‘wiring’ of communal life. Some visuals include Carmen’s amateur iPhone photography of what she refers to as ‘visual clusters of platform urbanism.’ Some of these images include: a co-working environment in North Amsterdam (comprised solely of boats) floating adjacent to a Data Centre, as well as a train advert for a geo-location dating app service, atop a sign which reads ‘keep distance.’ Hannes’s experimental photography and video-work explores, amongst other things, the de-industrialised architectures and landscapes of Linz. Inspired by anthropology, Hannes considers the structural lines separating Nature/Culture, and how this binary manifests in various urban archi-scapes. Mira’s playful and fluid graphics bring a form to the questions that tie these threads of research together. Somewhere between a hashtag, slogan or protest-chant, the questions become the glue of divergence, the translations of complexity, and the pegs of swirling curiosity. How can the act of shared questioning bring our societies together?
