About:

In a post-national age, where "territorial and political boundaries are increasingly permeable", what has become of the borderline? How is it defined, and what technologies are used to control it?

Movable Borders is a workshop series where we can begin to explore possible answers to these questions. Participants will be challenged to collaboratively develop a new cartographic system and map the US Military's covert drone campaign as a post-national territory, illustrating how control is distributed, delineated, and contained within it. The result of the series will be a cartography of control: a description of the various technologies, organisations, and locations that play a major role in the US Military's covert drone campaign.
