Departure

How can data bring something into being that did not exist before? How can it make the invisible visible and open up new opportunities for social imagination? In what way can data interconnect the global with the local spheres?

Obiettivo is designed as a warning light system for public spaces. Fed with data sourced from international organizations, it reacts to the number of people living in extreme poverty. The red light emitted by the object is an alarm; it aims at raising awareness and making us more sensitive towards one of our planet’s most threatening and complex issues.

The field journey invites you to explore a new mode of collective responsibility within the city of Berlin and beyond. Now make yourself ready to start this Exploration - and look at the invisible spaces that usually slip your attention!
