Constraint Basel
Constraint City took part in the exhibition “Sensing Place. Mediatizing the Urban Landscape” which compiled the Créme de la Créme of artworks/designs dealing with the augmentation of electromagnetic signals in our urban environment. Works by Mark Shepard, SENSEable City Lab and Christina Kubisch are featured, just to name a few. In the words of curator Sabine Himmelsbach, the exhibition seeks to address this reconfiguration of the public space by means of an increasing overlap of the digital spheres of information and geographical reality.
As part of the show, the House of electronic arts Basel organized a handful of city walks with participating artists and citizens. Unfortunately, the Constraint City walk got overshadowed by a heavy rainstorm, but we still tried to capture some waves and light bruises augmented by the Constraint City vest.
