Vertical Atlas is a new publication on the geopolitics of digital technology.
How to navigate the rapidly changing digital geopolitics in today’s world? How do we understand digital transformation and its multiple social, political, cultural and environmental implications in different places around the world?
Vertical Atlas brings together the expertise of a diverse group of internationally renowned artists, scientists and technologists from different backgrounds and locations. From an investigation into lithium mines in the Democratic Republic of the Congo to maps of undersea fiber optic cables in the Atlantic and China’s ride-hailing platforms.
Vertical Atlas is not a classic atlas that represents the world uniformly, nor is it a simple collection of traditional maps. It is a tool that allows comparisons, connections and contradictions between different and diverse visions, realities and worlds, through diagrams, interviews, essays and works of art commissioned from leading experts from around the world. It is edited by Leonardo Dellanoce, Amal Khalaf, Klaas Kuitenbrouwer, Nanjala Nyabola, Renée Roukens, Arthur Steiner and Mi You.
In this online session of the LABoral reading club we will explore some nooks and crannies of the Vertical Atlas with the help of Pablo de Soto and Alice Piva, authors of one of the chapters, and we will have the participation of José Pérez de Lama as a debater.
The activity will be carried out via Zoom.
Registration: Send an e-mail with the request to info@laboralcentrodearte.org before Monday the 12th at 1:00 p.m. We will send you the link for the connection.
