Utrecht, Netherlands
2022.11.04
Mapping the unjust city participated in the panel discussion, entitled Platform City with architect and urban theorist Ross Exo Adams, and filmmakers Μarta Dauliūtė & Viktorija Šiaulytė, moderated by curator Florian Wüst. The panel was linked to the film Good Life (2022), which was screened as part of the festival programme. The curators of the festival aimed to expose the paradox of the seemingly smooth operations that form our perspective on technology and in this panel posed the question “How does the integration of urban design, ubiquitous computing, sensing technologies and financialised capital act upon the human body and its relationship to time and space?” Issues of urban space and their transformation through platform technologies were discussed as well as the value of critical cartography.
