The built environment is a reference to the memory of a city. It is intended to convey an orderly, idealized narrative, a certain image of society. Beneath it, in the semi-darkness of the built environment, where orderly narratives dissolve and repressed and collective structures of meaning continue to exist, the world is still full of violence. Fragments of our collective memory are twisted, turned, and reinterpreted until anti-democratic and misanthropic narratives take hold. Conspiracy theories, resentment, and fear gain power through algorithmic ghosts that occupy the public discourse space, connected immediately, globally, and endlessly. A world inhabited by perverts, madmen, shameless people, Satanists, Nazis – we are coming!
