<br>
all crisis phenomena have a common denominator: they reveal a general<br>
deficit of imagination. The present is being endured to the same degree<br>
as the future seems inconceivable. What will happen tomorrow with social<br>
security, education, affluence or culture? Some people bury their head<br>
in the sand of the present moment, others compensate for the missing<br>
vision with fear and aggression. Angela Merkel's “we'll make it” doesn't<br>
help much. It mostly means: if you can't prevent something from<br>
happening, then just pretend you're steering it. There are good reasons<br>
to be wary of big plans. In the past, the ones which didn't fail made<br>
things even worse. On the other hand uncontrolled developments usually<br>
strengthen the rule of the stronger.<br>
<br>
So how can we re-imagine the future? The Canadian thinker and activist<br>
Max Haiven has written several books on this question, among others<br>
Crises of Imagination, Crises of Power: Capitalism, Creativity and the<br>
Commons (Zed books, 2014). Now, he opens his rich tool box to focus on<br>
the movement of people, data and goods – a traffic that will not<br>
continue without control. Borders and infrastructure are the central<br>
sites for this control of movement, and therefore also crucial sites for<br>
the production of futures. How is it possible to achieve democratic<br>
oversight of borders and infrastructure? Which imperatives are required<br>
to reimagine and rebuild these sites accordingly? He explores this in<br>
cooperation with TACIT FUTURES, the 2016 programme of the Berliner Gazette.<br>
