I'm honored to introduce you to these Points of InAccess. I will be your indirect detourguide from the city. :) Before we start, what does inaccess mean?
-Not being able to access something. So, it could be anything? Yes. -
-Starting from a point of disability, the moment you are / you know someone who has impairments, the worlds changes drastically. The experience of not being able to enter multiple spaces. Even the smallest thresholds can be walls to people in wheelchairs. -

-Crossing the street is an obstacle when there is no small ramp on the edge of a pavement. +Not being able to access something. Using Disability as point of departure. Having certain impairments opens your eyes to closed systems. The world changes drastically as you're not being able to enter multiple spaces. Making a 'regular' space into a 'liminal' space for wheelchairs.

-Another Point of InAccess is the affordance. The city of Rotterdam is one with future plans, but what are the planned inhabitants? A city that allows skycrapers merely accessible based on income, educational status or wealthy positions. +How can we afford to live in a city obsessed with future plans and what are the planned inhabitants? A city that grants access for corporations but refuse access based on income, education, etc.

-This project is meant as a construction site. Rotterdam is a city that claims to be proud of how the people live and work on the city and make the city. There are already multiple ways and websites to improve the city. But these are all either based on or located in an institution of infrastructure. +POINXS is meant as a construction site. Rotterdam is a city that claims to be proud of the people living / working on developing / making the city.

-POINXS: Points of InAccess is about using geolocation together with stories / anecdotes to humanize the troubles caused by the Points of InAccess. The further intention of the construction site is to collaborate with anyone that experiences POINXS. Rotterdam is also known as the city that is never finished. POINXS continues on that sentiment because an accessible city takes time to develop. +POINXS uses geolocation together with stories / anecdotes to humanize the errors and bugs in the system. Anyone willing is welcome to add their POINXS. Rotterdam is also known as the city that is never finished. POINXS continues on that sentiment because an accessible city takes time to develop.
