Title

Ubernism

Short paragraph for context (what you will do) or if you are offering to be a part of the collective & join other projects, what you can offer etc.

As urban civic life is increasingly outsourced to the Uber paradigm of point-to-point economies, the project seeks to explore the agency of artists and designers to coopt these algorithmic infrastructures beyond their consumerist horizon. It will temporarily reimagine TEX as a hub that both visualises these digital infrastructures throughout London and materialises the students' interventions. We will draw on artworks within the Tate collection from across related histories and genres of Cybernetics and Systems Art.
