Tracing public value: A side angle on a place

A place pulled apart into three layers: what was promised for it, where money and approvals went, and what the public record shows happened next. Where the layers don't line up, there's a gap, and that is where the questions sit.

Invitation to Gathering Intelligences: a drawing of trees, birds and street sensors beside the words "An invitation, to gather".

Method

Gathering Intelligences

What if you could trace the relations of value that shape your place through time, and reflect on how these shape your own values and experiences? This is an experimental walking practice, assembling the digital and sensory conditions that shape attention to shared spaces in cities.
