The current planetary sensorial apparatus — sonic, tactile, visual, affective, and embodied — can help us to imagine alternate possibilities for the safe planet and new ways of re-imagining.

Referring to ultra futurism, Rashida's backgrounds in the photographs refers to her memories from earth, and how they imagined future. As increasingly sophisticated technologies are created to sense the world, and Rashida's existence is drastically shifting people's worldview in return. Infrastructural networks and logistics of pipelines, high-speed rails, and fibre optic cables have informed the worldview of the earth as an interconnected and globalized whole in service of a specific mono-culture of technology. This, in turn, produces its own geopolitical realities, impacting how people’s lives are governed across the world.
