Unrendered Road

Today we encounter the world through the prism of digital apps owned by tech giants. Seemingly neutral, their smooth interfaces mask specific subjectivities of knowledge. They create new topographies of action, enabling or disabling terms by which we engage with the places around us. The video Unrendered Road traces the road between two ancient cities--Jerusalem and Jericho. A journey that Google Maps will not show you -- an unrendered road. By assembling conflicting perceptual readings, the reliance of existing knowledge systems are questioned, including regulations and legislations, on geo-political power structures and sedimented historical inequities. The resultant ‘editing’ of reality is made manifest through the interface by which we navigate a conflicted border zone.
