The Spiral: Surfacing the city

Abstract

How do residents largely unanchored from their long-honed stabilities observe the situations that require from them new ways of seeing, new dispositions of circumnavigation? How do they attempt to reconcile their “blindspots”, their structural inabilities to read themselves into a surrounds that views them in ways inaccessible to them? How do they compose points of views, angles onto things capable of observing prospective trajectories across time and space – a process of composition that requires gathering up potential collaborators differentially distributed across their networks and territories of operation?
