DESIGN

As the intrinsic relationship between theory, analysis and design will be addressed in each publication, the ‘design’ part will present the architectural intervention proposal, which is based on the theoretical premises and the (in)direct result of the findings and insights the spatial analysis offered. Building on the discussed zonefacts, the project intends to re-ground discourse on information technologies and the realm of the digital through engagement with its immediate material conditions and operations. With that, it puts forward new approaches to conceive of infrastructural systems, transgressing purely technocratic dogmas and proposes new ways of thinking, worlding and becoming-together in the Anthropocene. By grafting itself upon the remaining infrastructures, the Office for Digital Oblivion works with a strategic constellation, comprised of The Archive on Ancon Hill, The Exchange Point at the Cable Landing Station in Corozal, The Binary Gardens south of Lake Gatun and The Space Cemetery at the satellite ground station in Utivé. The parts work collectively, complementing each other’s operations, connected through material and informational flows.
