Back
The Fish Market Ocean
Mariam Mumladze
Georgia
Every day, we see different urban spaces around us; some are where we live, while others are work areas or streets that we frequently walk or pass by. I grew up in Tbilisi, and my home is near the most famous bazaar in Tbilisi, called the Deserter's Bazaar. It's the most chaotic, noisy, and filthy place I’ve ever been. Public spaces are areas where different people meet each other for different purposes. The bazaar is one of the strangest examples of public space and relations. The people who are here every day at work are boxing everything as much as possible. My main character is space itself, which we see in the first scene. The area really looks like an ocean, but inside the bazaar, people are boxing the spaces. Everything is boxed, like the fruits, vegetables, meat, eggs, and even the fresh fish are boxed in glass boxes.

Current: Urban Inclusivity in the Attention Economy
Attention economy is the largest and most disruptive innovation in both the information and in marketing. Smart homes are ubiquitous, connected devices that enable people to monitor, and that which is exploited by a large number of people. Attention economy is, therefore, revealed in the transformation of the public sphere into a panorama of relationships of things, of affects, of intentions. The singular constellation of social relations is the ‘state of Things’. It is also, in a way, a mode of production, which throws light on and gives expression to the intensities of this social process and appears in it a kind of objectivity and a mode of definition so that the political process may more appropriately be regarded as a kind of activity. A space is thus less a specific place or a general archetype of entities, and more a particular constellation of relations and a particular object. A space is thus, one in which, what is stored in the ‘actual’ is also what can be transformed into a modulating effect of that, and the inclusivity of the non-human perspective, be it nature or machine.
