This lecture will explore infrastructures as material forms that connect populations, regions, and economies. Infrastructures of transport and communication for instance are crucial for the circulation of both economies and cultures. Infrastructures are at the center of media circulation by way of entangling people, objects, ideas and technologies. Digital infrastructures are dynamic environments; they break down, collapse and suddenly multiply in new ways through circulation and collaboration. In non-Western environments like Asia, infrastructures have a distinct ‘poetics’, with aesthetic and radical possibilities. This poetics is a significant part of Asia’s move to the digital, with emerging cultural practices, and new cultural institutions.
