Continuous City (2008)
The Builders Association’s Continuous City is a meditation on how the contemporary experience of location and dislocation stretches us to the max as our “networked selves” occupy multiple locations. From Shanghai to Los Angeles, Toronto to Mexico City, Continuous City tells the story of a traveling father and his daughter at home tethered and transformed by speed, hypermodernity, and failing cell phones.
