To exist is to be connected. But to what, with whom and by which means? Electrical grid and heat networks, roads and streets, internet connection and water supply – nowadays most of us take these intersecting networks for granted. As long as they work well, they go unnoticed. The political, economic and ethical dimension of the interconnectedness is, however, explicitly revealed by disruption: a military attack by a tyrant neighbour, peaking prices or catastrophic weather conditions, or also more mundanely, during urban repair and maintenance works. To exist today means to be upset about slow internet, new wind turbines, excavated streets and cleared out forests. Or does it?
