Cities are cradles. Nests made of carefully knitted infrastructure holding us up.When a city's infrastructure is exposed - a hole in the pavement, arteries under sun - we're reminded of our dependence on a deeper physical reality and our implicit vulnerability as a result. We're reminded that our cities are engineered and technical places as much as they are natural expressions of the Human and the Social, whose buildings echo ancient grouping of people at work, play, or home.What we expect from infrastructure is that it works, because when it doesn't , it isn't. We want infrastructure to seamlessly integrate with the existing world — in the ground like water rather than an accessory above. After all, infrastructure is here to support us; an expression of what may be our most endemic myth, that the world is here for us.But with every receding seam, from cable to code, comes a techno-political risk. Without edges we cannot know where we are and nor through whom we speak.The family farm in New Zealand still has no GSM reception. Meanwhile here in Berlin, my chosen home in Europe, I sit at a desk programming my own GSM BTS using free and open source software, infrastructure I'm not licensed to use.[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Mathematical_Theory_of_Communication[2] http://news.findlaw.com/wsj/docs/cellphone/newmanmotorola93002mem.pdf[3] http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/10/19/us-italy-phones-idUSBRE89I0V320121019[4] http://informahealthcare.com/doi/abs/10.1080/09553000210132298[5] http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18821198[6] http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolkata/Study-puts-glare-back-on-cell-tower-risks/articleshow/27492794.cms[7] http://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/originals/2014/02/acre-explosion-cell-phone-tower-vendetta-tourism.html#The same call, in code.
