Defying categorization, Trevor Paglen combines the methodologies of a geographer with the open-ended approaches of contemporary art. By doing so, he exposes the processes of the military/prison industrial-complexes and their corresponding landscapes. His contribution is to invent the tools for reading the uncharted connections between urban power headquarters and exurban patches of land. It is this outskirt that typically seems to be the most innocent of nature's untouched land. In Archinect's latest feature, Bryan Finoki interviews Paglen, not to mention that he also takes us for a ride with the outlaw geographer to the wild stealth frontier, the progeny of complicated affairs between public servants and private brokers. Come along to hear about Paglen's artistic production, his collaborations and tours as well as the military's secret projects.
