Impossible Geographies 01: Memory invokes the memory space of a gallery, producing cracks through which past events seep into the physical present. Net_Dérive negotiates the space between a gallery and its urban neighborhood, creating hybrid narratives along the grooves left by participants equipped with mobile phones. The playground of Impossible Geographies 02: Urban Fiction spreads across the city and beyond, mixing and shifting multiple urban geographies as participants sweep along the urban fabric with advanced mobile phones. The conceptual and technological methods of 'lens-making' and 'spacing,' developed in these artworks, explore the subjective, hybrid, and migrational nature of the geographies we belonging to. By re-sculpting the fluid nature of the urban fabric the works transform the everyday urbanscape into impossible imaginary geographies.

Brought together by a desire to explore the cybridity of physicality through artistic expressions, we recognise the need for a new language and ways of speaking that open potentials for the creation of new realities. Postcolonial discourse and the concept of vertical and horizontal discourses theorised by educational sociologist Basil Bernstein will provide the lenses by which we describe our collaboration, which is partially performed herein through language. We propose to describe our discourse of intervention as discourses in which each dialogue is a deliberative "language game" played out through the metonymy of ideas in our fields (e.g. belonging and fuzzy membership functions) to produce a subject always different to itself. By interjecting interventions between and among our respective territories of knowledge, we hope to create a new mode of practice that is neither trapped by our territories nor a duplex copy of them, but rather multidimensional transmissions reinterpreting our meaning structures.

With the advent of mobile and wearable sensor technologies, the body is brought to the fore as the essential and defining site of interaction and experience. Devices hosted by and around the body, or distributed in the environment, are able to read, measure, track and provide feedback on our location, proximity, gestures, movement patterns, pulse, breathing, emotional state, gaze and so on. What and how we carry or wear and how we move through space in our daily interactions have distinct influences on our experiences of the world around us and of course, our agency to act in our everyday lives.
