Broadening the Conversation
Culture | Smart City is a multilateral and multidisciplinary collaborative initiative that aims to (re) imagine urban cultural transformation within the smart city discourse.
Phase 2 of this initiative will broaden the conversation on Culture and the Smart City, and depict the “smart city” as a meeting of diverse actors and actants that enable multiple narratives, varying flights of thought and un/intended consequences. Phase also aspires for its cracks and gaps to inspire others to join in the conversation, because it is in the unarticulated and unforeseen gaps that new potentialities begin.
Explore Culture | Smart City through 4 distinctive public programmes:
Culture | Smart City: Exhibition
Tracing Latencies is a hybrid group exhibition of the Culture | Smart City project, held from 3 March to 3 April 2022 at 136 GOETHE LAB. This mixed-media, multi-sensory exhibition presents 8 art installations from artists and creative practitioners across Southeast Asia, to radically (re)imagine the conditional ways we relate to our increasingly digitalised urban environments and each other. Tracing and unfolding the cloaked systems, illegible structures, and dislocated anxieties that constitute our algorithmic environment, the audience is invited to walk/click through, pause, and embrace these peripheral encounters
