It is mainly invisible walls made of crystal that
define most of the spaces where our bureaucratic fluxes inhabit: tax
offices, shopping malls, airports or banks. For a long time we have
known them as non-places, they are the epitome of the
architecture of transparency. These transit spaces represent in their
very glass construction what is supposed to be hidden. In a way
comparable to what happened with the appearance of credit cards and the
ongoing disappearance of money as a physical object, today a similar
process is happening with the representation of the infrastructures of
power. On the transparent walls are some floating corporative logos as
the customer care person is always within our sight. While one does not
perceive the symmetry of power as it happened before, the architecture
of transparency pushes our steps in a stealthy fashion. This
transparency hides the rules of our regulated lives in its own
immateriality.In this exposed nothingness, we individuals are choreographed through the perverse management of our desire, very well described by Byung-Chul Han. In this mechanic conception of all movements, synchronized once more by an interior panopticon composed in our time by of a digital substance, it would seem that the gestures of defiance are the ones that propose a disruption in this machinery.
