METACITY/DATATOWN is based on the video installation of the same title produced for an exhibition at the Stroom Center for the Visual Arts, Den Haag 12.12.1998-13.02.1999 An attempt to understand the contemporary city at a moment when globalisation has exploded its scale beyond our grasp. Abandoning topography,ideology, representation, and context, the authors resort to pure data to discover what agenda for architecture and urbanism a numerical approach could provoke.
