Phone Wars under Mobile Connectivity

Mobile communications and mobile information spaces represent typical examples for the alleged fluidity of exchange in contemporary networked societies. The commercial marketing discourse of“accessibility”suggests an even stronger form of empowerment – beyond contextual, special and geographic conditions. Visibility today seems to be something that is primarily organized around commodities and consumer goods. But in societies of control,
invisibility has become something that is organized as well. On the level of social communications, the division between the two has become increasingly difficult to explain: ithas now been assigned to the psyche and intuition of user individuals to digest, to process, to understand what is actually visible and invisible in any given moment. In this piece, I would like to briefly introduce an art project, which highlights one of the invisible geopoliti-
cal spaces shaped by mobile communication. Analyzing the kind of invisibility that is being represented by the work, I will attempt to discuss and to devise a new set of questions to reconsider visibility and invisibility in the context of power relations in the conditions of mobile connectivity.
