<b>Ministry of the Infraordinary</b>
<p>The Ministry of the Infraordinary invites you to experience the city of Rotterdam in ways you haven't imagined. Let the subjective infrastructure map inspire and guide you and search for views you haven't seen before, look up and under, listen carefully for the subtler sounds of life, consider your place and your role in this network of cables, waves and invisible connections and contribute to the photo map that aspires to make the city our own.
<br>
<br>
At the Ministry of the Infraordinary, we are concerned with noticing the subtle fabric that makes up our urban surroundings. Using qualitative and generous methods to interrogate the ever-changing ecosphere that constitute our cities. Working in close relation with partners such as trees, trash-cans, lamp-posts and the canals we want to promote considerate and intimate relations between inhabitants and inhabited.</p>

<b>Checking point</b>
<p>In games, checking points are saving the player’s state, so they could resume the point if they fail.
<br>
<br>
Checking point is a map about the camera zones in the city, related to the checking points in the games, using the camera zone as a checking point to connect the path, also explore the relationship between the player and the people behind the monitor.
<br>
<br>
In the map, the path that the player takes will leave no traces, but the camera zones will leave traces as checkpoints that save the player's status. By accepting cookies, you will navigate through various camera zones. You can do this by scanning QR codes or using GPS record settings at each camera zone checkpoint. This will generate an individual path for you, although you will never see the saved image captured by the government.</p>

<b>Scripts to Read the City</b>
<p>The project imagines an urban environment that can be read, analyzed and criticized as a text. By reading the city in this way we find other possible ways of seeing, moving and listening. In a scripted city, marked by escalating levels of perfection, efficiency and control, the emancipatory aspects of urban life are undermined, allowing little room for anything that doesn't fit the image of the "norm".
<br>
<br>
Scripts to Read the City is an attempt to foster diverse experiences and uses of space, similar to a theater script interpreted differently by each actor. The tools of navigation are a device indicating which character to play and a guide, including a set of directions and instructions.
<br>
<br>
The project explores a relation between scripts and spontaneity, chance and control and how scripts and unpredictability can enhance each other, stimulating imagination, encouraging us to engage with space from another perspective. </p>
