Maximum liquidity partitioned by a security barrier that ironically also causes massive flooding.\n\n39. The exhibition Native Land/Stop-Eject, curated by Paul Virilio and Raymond Depardon at Cartier Fondation, Paris, 2008-09 promoted the estimation that 645 million people will be displaced by wars and other catastrophes by 2050. Today it ’ s estimated that there are perhaps 300 million internal illegal immigrants within China. Mostly these are migrants from rural areas who live in major cities like Beijing and the southern factory metropoles without the appropriate hukou, or urban license. They often make their way without official social services and schools for their children, let alone voting rights. Even though they have crossed no national border, they can be counted with the other hundreds of millions of alegal migrants, stateless persons, and stateless ethnic groups. Taken together, perhaps they represent a kind of transnational political prototype of whatever may follow the modern Westphalian model of state and sovereignty. If a shared relationship to urban infrastructure is a source, if not the source, of that sovereign model to come, what public do they constitute? What urbanism should they demand? What, if any, cosmpolitanism do they enable or deflate? Outside the law, are they the left-behind or the avant-garde?\n\n40. Ricardo Dominguez, Amy Sara Carroll, Brett Stalbaum, Micha Cardenas, and Elle Mehrmand. Videos of the tool explained and in action are on the B.A.N.G. Lab page at http://vimeo.com/ banglab.

It also begs the question as to the City’ s right to the User. To what extent does the City have a corresponding “ right ” to use the User for its own creative purposes? The tracking of phones for spatial service optimization is a relatively banal example, but points toward controversies to come that cannot be solved by the axiomatization of individual privacy.\n\n43. The way that TBIT activates the virtual territorial envelope can also be compared to US federal efforts to augment the physical international border with electronics sensors. In Sustenance, B.A.N.G. Lab notes that “ in March 2010, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced that the virtual portion of the separation barrier erected along the U.S.-Mexico border thus far had proven ineffective, manifesting numerous technical glitches (notably, a hyper-vigilant inability to distinguish among wind, sage brush, and human beings). ” They ask, “ Did an aesthetic unconscious will the fence ’ s malfunction? Wabbit trans/nation? Mayan meets queer technologies? ‘ Earth Telephone ’ ? Sleep Dealer ’ s nod to node-to-node resistance? It ’ s your turn to try to circumvent borders with this ‘ true story ’ — the borders falsely constructed between the university, the gallery, the museum, the library … and the ‘ real world. ’ ” The project is described in greater detail in B.A.N.G. Lab ’ s “ Sustenance: A Play for All Trans [ ] Borders ” http://www.thing. net/\\~rdom/Sustenance.pdf. They also note that their tool is hardly the first, or most reliable, navigation technology available: “ The outdoor GPS devices from Garmin and Magellan are indeed useful aids for the long distance overland orienteering required to walk into the United States. Readily available at Wal-Mart and Best Buy in Mexico, they have been utilized for a long time in border crossings. In other words, capitalism long ago accomplished what the atavistic right and neoliberal administrations fear most! ”\n\nNotes\n\n409","previous_page":408,"next_page":410}
