How is corporate biotechnology shaping the spaces we live in?

The Temporary Travel Office was in Chicago for Version4 (
http://www.versionfest.org ) to distribute the audio tour of the
Chicago Technology Park and also facilitated a walking tour of the
Park. The tour is a self-guided audio experience that places the city's
current investment in the "new economy" within the historical, and
ongoing, practices of social engineering through urban planning. A
story of spatial eugenics emerges out of the juxtaposition of texts and
statements from disparate sources that include Official state and city
press releases, corporate documents and activist archives.

A temporary web explorer and communication device has been created for
web tourists. From here, one can create real and virtual postcards to
send to the biotechnology and real estate industries in Chicago, as
well as searching for technology parks in your area.
