This display will be part of an ongoing investigation into civil and military airspaces which form part of the invisible global aviation infrastructure all around us. Aviation airspaces are an under-evaluated aspect of spatial design and structural control. The display at Rom 61 will explore creative and speculative possibilities for airspace design - as architecture, as vast sculptures, as paradoxical, digital, and virtual formations. The display will consist of screens and projections showing graphic representations of imaginary airspaces over real landscapes and sites. 

These short films are generated using geographic and satellite imagery from Google Earth, QGIS and 3D model overlays with manipulated code. Each film will offer a creative response to a contested or critical site in Norway and the UK. Such sites might include oil infrastructure, military bases, prisons, waste repositories, and power stations. The aim of the display will highlight and reimagine the invisible airspaces all around us that define our movement around the world, and to interrogate established notions of power and control of the land and sky.
