Out Of Bounds.
On this planet, almost everything is designed by humans for humans. The houses we live in, the streets we walk on, and the places where we go to school, work, shop, exercise, and meet friends. Even the fields and forests around our cities are artificially constructed to serve our agricultural and economic needs. Strangely, there are also places that are completely artificially designed – but not for humans.
Places where nobody lives, where you don’t spend time in, where no social interactions happen. Passageways, where the concept of space stands in contradiction to everything we know. In contradiction to everything human. Almost like an in-between world, a gap, a void in which, if we look too deeply, we might find something that we are not supposed to see.
“Out of bounds“ is a specific term from the digital world that describes the moment when the interface designed for us stops working as it should due to a device malfunction or an error in the code. For a moment, we can catch a glimpse behind the curtain, but we don‘t understand what we are seeing. In this book, the concept of venturing into the “out of bounds“ is applied to the real world. Expressions like “liminal spaces“ or “non-spaces“ explore the topics mentioned in a similar way. They all describe man-made structures devoid of any human presence. A world within our world, with its very own definition of reality – one that looks familiar but feels uncanny.
