Neoliberalism(s). 2013
Custom software (online and on-site), interactive screen, three digital prints
Burak Arikan uses social, economic and political issues as inputs to generate network maps, rendering power dynamics visible and discussable. Neoliberalism(s) uses a questionnaire and mapping software to capture the relationships between expatriates’ subjective encounters with neoliberalism in the UAE and in their home countries. The data generated up until the opening of the Sharjah Biennial is used to create network diagrams. These printed maps are displayed in the exhibition. As people continue to answer the questions, presented on a touch-screen interface and also available online during the run of the exhibition, the ever-growing database is continually updated on digital versions of the map.
Commissioned by Sharjah Art Foundation.
