About this Project
When technology tracks movement in virtual spaces and controls movement in physical spaces, feedback loops intensify.
TecTonic Shifts is an exploration of urban displacement and digital divides, shifting landscapes and social tremors. Voices punctuate melodic phrases in fractured geographies of a city deconstructed.
