What are space telecommunication infrastructures used for
and by whom?
Outer Space and the City investigates the reciprocal tensions and relations between interplanetary infrastructures of telecommunication and urbanization. Embedded in cities in the form of mission control rooms, data centers, and cell phone towers, interplanetary infrastructures of telecommunications provide the means to condition, monitor, activate, enable, and/or foreclose specific forms of urban life.
