The exhibition is in two episodes. The first examines the work of Greek architect Constantinos Doxiadis, focusing on his pioneering use of computers to document and survey the changing metropolitan landscape and its residents The second extends Doxiadis’ methodologies, applying his meticulous surveying approaches to contemporary Athens. This episode traces these early computational practices to the present, with new research into the physical form, technical administration, and territorial spread of city and state border management systems.
For the exhibition, I co-directed and produced a multi-channel video installation incorporating footage from 24 interviews with recently-arrived refugees conducted in seven languages.
