Inspired again by infrastructure and based on the subjective map of Rotterdam, I contributed to this version of the Counter-Tourist Information Center with a new transmedia map that includes a playful object (in line with SIGN's DIY approach, and incorporating elements of temporality, temporariness, orientation as experienced from the viewpoint of the visitor, thoughts on the big issues of the city and 3D-printed GPS logs)
and a short film. The project includes Eemshaven and poses questions regarding the cost of development and of our increasing needs in energy and data, juxtaposing liminal and gentrified (or on the verge of gentrofication) spaces and the ever-expanding energy and data factories of the area.
Further, a series of postcards was created to facilitate the Counter-Tourist Information Center's interaction with the audience, in a manner that embraces the tourist-oriented approach but celebrates the mundane yet unique elements of the city.
