Manuel Collado Arpia, Nacho Martin Asunción and Manijeh Verghese introduce Intermediate 11. Sub-Saharan Spaceships
In contemporary society technology is believed to exert a controlling force over our daily lives, monitoring our activities while collecting and storing data about our habits and interests. But imagine another kind of interaction with technology designed to intensify life, creativity and freedom. This year Intermediate 11 will travel to Cape Town, understanding South Africa as one of the most appropriate landscapes where this countercultural tech-activism can flourish. It is a country where wilderness and urban growth are facing a precarious sustainability, where new technologies are implanted faster than the physical infrastructure, but it is also part of a continent with a strong tribal identity to inspire visionary settlements that fuse past, present and future.
