CALL FOR PROJECTS
<http://www.antiatlas.net/en/2015/12/09/call-for-projects/>
*Coding and decoding borders at the dawn of the 21st century*
From 13 April to 31 May 2016, Brussels
/*Coding and decoding borders at the dawn of the 21st century*/ is an
event encompassing art, research and practice. Combining *an
exhibition and an international conference*, it will host, *at the
Faculty of Architecture and the Faculty of Philosophy and Social
Sciences of the Université Libre de Bruxelles, and at the Headquarters
of the World Customs Organization (WCO)*, researchers, artists and
experts who will discuss the growing technologization of controls of
persons, goods or capital which cross borders. As with the previous
events organized by the antiAtlas of Borders, this
conference/exhibition truly breaks away from compartmentalization of
the fields of knowledge, creation and practice. By offering different
levels of lecture and of participation, it opens up beyond academic,
political and professional circles to reach the public at large.
The call for projects is for the exhibition which will be held from 13
April to 31 May at the Espace Architecture La Cambre Horta on the
Flagey campus of the Université Libre de Bruxelles.

1rst exhibition at the Musée des Tapisseries
<http://www.antiatlas.net/musee-des-tapisseries/>, 2013
The exhibition curators and the Scientific and Artistic Committee are
seeking *diverse works (net.art, installations, videos, documentaries,
video games, plastic arts, etc.) that reflect the processes related to
the technologization of border controls*, whether relating to persons,
goods or capital. For the past 20 years, many stakeholders
(researchers, journalists, NGO workers and activists, elected
politicians, employees of national administrations and international
organizations, etc.) have been observing, documenting, studying and at
times condemning the technologization of border controls. Alongside
the militarization of borders, traditional control systems are now
complemented by the deployment at state borders of increasingly
sophisticated technologies (biometrics, robots, walls, integrated
surveillance systems, data mining, big data, etc.) to control
movements of population groups, goods, capital and information.
Analysts of this intensive deployment of technology generally tend to
look at the objects of control separately: persons, goods and capital.
Yet we should also look into the question of the possible movement and
transfer of knowledge and techniques from one of these objects to
another. Any analysis of border controls, whatever the object, needs
to look at the same questions, namely efficiency, fraud and diversion.
