Folder with PR materials and articles related to Lawrence Lek (1982). Lek's fascination for international geopolitical force fields and the intertwinement of governments and commercial tech businesses are augmented in the future scenarios of Nøtel. Lek, educated as an architect, makes digital universes which spill into reality, aided by virtual reality simulations and 3D animations. The exhibitions sketches a hyper-luxurious future in which domestic labour is no longer performed by people (zerø-star™). In the site specific Nøtel (The Hague) military architectural upgrades are combined with high-tech surveillance and cyber security. Through this, Lek reveals The Hague's ambitions not only as the International City of Peace and Justice, as it brands itself, but as a city of Peace, Justice, and Security, exemplified by the government-sponsored weapons and security interest group The Hague Security Delta.
