Thursday Night Live! The Vertical Atlas: Island.eu

Nieuwe Instituut is het nationale museum voor architectuur, design en digitale cultuur. Nieuwe Instituut houdt zich bezig met de grote ontwikkelingen in de maatschappij, zoals de krapte op de woningmarkt, de energietransitie, de opkomst van kunstmatige intelligentie, mobiliteit of het gebruik van de publieke ruimte. Ontwerpers, waaronder architecten en digitale makers, kunnen aan die ontwikkelingen een belangrijke bijdrage leveren. Nieuwe Instituut toont het werk van ontwerpers, brengt mensen met elkaar in contact, verzamelt, ontwikkelt en deelt kennis.

PLEASE NOTE: This event will be combined with the book launch of '<A HREF="https://thursdaynight.hetnieuweinstituut.nl/en/activities/steve-bannon-propaganda-retrospective-0" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Steve Bannon, A Propaganda Retrospective</A>' by Jonas Staal.
The Vertical Atlas: Island.eu explores ways of mapping new techno-political geographies, based on the tension between Europe's data protection against the borderless reality of cyberspace and the simultaneous datafication of the Mediterranean sea as an extended border of European sovereignty. With speakers Benjamin Bratton, Victoria Ivanova and Marten Kaveats. 
Since the early 2000s, a new sovereign model has started to surface from the supposedly free space of the Internet: cloud platforms such as Google, Amazon, Facebook and Apple (GAFA). Over the years, it has become clear that these platforms represent not only a new corporate model, but also a political one that claims sovereignty over cyber and material space through its infrastructure and algorithms. At the same time, modern states are beginning to morph into platforms themselves. In this context, the clash between the European Union and the American GAFA stack over European citizens’ data resulted in a showdown between these two logics of governance. The newly released GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) is the first product of this battle. 
While in Brussels EU politicians hear Mark Zuckerberg’s defence on the Cambridge Analytica scandal, at the southern border of the Union the Mediterranean sea is turned in to one of the most surveilled areas in the world by the EU itself. Projects such as Frontex and Eurosur are implemented by the European Union to map and datafy the surface of the sea, extending the EU’s sovereignty through the machinic vision of monitoring satellites and the presence of the coastguard’s fleet. Whilst flows of migrants from Africa and West Asia are claimed in the form of data, the people themselves are not welcome. Safety and efficiency are the regulatory logic behind these policies, with biometric indexing at the borders already being discussed. 
<H2 CLASS="hni-grid">Public event and research lab</H2>
Vertical Atlas:Island.eu  is the first of a series of five events that attempt to develop a techno-political cartography, departing from the conceptual model laid out by <A HREF="https://bennopremselalezing2015.hetnieuweinstituut.nl/en" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Benjamin Bratton</A> in The Stack.This series aims at investigating specific geozones where the entanglement of different sovereignties surface and different stacks clash. Each event consists of a public program in Het Nieuwe Instituut  and a <A HREF="https://verticalatlas.hetnieuweinstituut.nl/en/islandeu-lab" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">research lab</A> for invited guests.
<H2 CLASS="hni-grid">Partner</H2>
Vertical Atlas: Island.eu is developed and produced by <A HREF="http://thedigitalearth.org/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Hivos Digital Earth</A> and Het Nieuwe Instituut.
