The invisible forces of electromagnetism are interwoven into individual bodies and collective systems, manifesting as radio waves, electricity, embodied magnetic fields, and more. The electromagnetic spectrum can be seen as an invisible commons, offering physical and conceptual space for acts of individual and collective agency within otherwise privatized and totalizing systems.

The Border is Nowhere is a personal account of crossing the US-Quebec border on foot at the end of summer 2018.

I would add that Mexico can be wherever the fuck it wants to be. With this text as a story I describe how singing karaoke in a seafood restaurant in Phoenix Arizona I discovered that Mexico is not a place, Mexico is not the land, nor the parents, nor the flag, nor the language. Mexico is a seed that breaks the border, blooms and expands.
