'GLOBAL SPANNING AND MEASURES OF THE UNDECIDABLE' presentation by NATASHA GINWALA and VIVIAN ZIHERL LANDINGS (Natasha Ginwala and Vivian Ziherl) will present a lecture-screening in which a series of figures are held apart-together exploring the terrain of infrastructural suspension. An itinerary of temporal alignments emerge across hyper-real circuits of resource fluidity, laser detection of "bare earth construct", Tantong Gyalpo's 13th century chain-link bridges throughout the Himalayan region, and Duchamp's 1,200 Coal Bags imaged alongside Imamura's 1989 film Black Rain. These readings encounter states of essential linkage whereby the limit conditions of the body as infrastructure are brought into conversation with Spivak's notion of the planetary subject.
