LOCATION 0 = INFINITE
One of the consequences of the contracted space and time, where a 
certain segment of the world population within the high-tech 
infrastructure defines information as goods and new technologies as mere 
tools, is the physical, psychological and social shifting of boundaries 
as well as creating temporary topologies. The new cartographic, symbolic 
or emotional mapping of the world carves out space, time and identity to 
the representative techniques of the temporary selfproviding communities.
Within the virtual or geopolitical zones the latter stand for the stream
of resistance. By means of wireless technology the locative and mobile
tactical media provide a new record of the subjective itineraries and
personal space-time zones within the given geographical situations.
Today’s economic map of capital flow into the junctions of world
communication networks by no means matches the image of the contemporary
world shaped through history. Does the transgression of such boundaries
actually take place in this moment or is it a mere fantasy of utopians 
and activists? How to conquer a space emotionally? Can we give up 
confines like centre, integrated periphery, attached periphery, forsaken 
periphery, dead corner or half isolated zones not only on the level of 
the imaginary, but also on that of the real?

Keywords:
cybergeography, psychogeography, data visualisations, tracing routes,
community, political and subjective mapping, locative and mobile media,
statistics, emotional space, situations, space-time relations,
transgression, political revelations, diagnosis, localization of power,
centres of resistance.
