Through a series of collaborative programs and interdisciplinary projects, we brought this vision to life in five major cities: MedellÃn and Cúcuta (Colombia), Geneva (Switzerland), Nairobi (Kenya), and Houston (USA).</p> 17 <p>We recognised early on that, although digital security is a global challenge, the way we coexist and the compromises we are willing to make for safety are deeply rooted in local culture, politics and social fabric. Our approach was designed to bridge these worlds, articulating local specifics with a global perspective. Digital technology served as the vital thread, weaving collaboration and exchange together across these five distinct urban landscapes.</p> 18<div style="margin-top: 10px;"></div> 19<p>The following short videos provide a general introduction to Edgelands:</p> 20 <div class="grid-container intro"> 21 <a href="./institute/interview-yves-daccord.html" class="carte-bouton"> 22 <div> 23 <span class="content-carte-titre">Interview with Yves Daccord</span> 24 </div> 25 <div class="content-carte-excerpt">Video 26 </div> 27 </a> 28 <a href="./institute/what-how-why.html" class="carte-bouton"> 29 <div> 30 <span class="content-carte-titre">What We Do, How We Do It, and Why</span> 31 </div> 32 <div class="content-carte-excerpt">Video 33 </div> 34 </a> 35 <a href="./institute/citizens-discussion-surveillance.html" class="carte-bouton" > 36 <div> 37 <span class="content-carte-titre">Including Citizens in the Discussion About Surveillance (with Yves Daccord)</span> 38 </div> 39 <div class="content-carte-excerpt">Video 40 </div> 41 </a> 42 <a href="./institute/popdown-beyond.html" class="carte-bouton" > 43 <div> 44 <span class="content-carte-titre">Edgelands Pop-Down and Beyond</span> 45 </div> 46 <div class="content-carte-excerpt">Video 47 </div> 48 </a> 49 </div> 50 <div style="margin-top: 10px;"></div> 51 <details> 52 <summary>A Pop-Up Institute</summary> 53 <p>The pop-up nature of Edgelands was more than just a format; it was the driving force behind our work. Its limited duration created a unique intensity, channelling energy into every project we undertook.</p> 54 <p>Although pop-up structures are more common in commercial endeavours, such as pop-up stores, we built on this concept to develop public engagement on crucial contemporary issues, bringing together the social, artistic, and academic fields in new and exciting ways.</p> 55 <p>This structure enabled horizontal collaboration between a wide range of individuals and organisations, breaking down the accessibility barriers that often silence voices in traditional academic and policy circles. It was also quickly apparent that this model generated excitement around events, which in turn helped to raise awareness of the complex issues related to security and digital technologies in diverse urban landscapes.</p> 56 <p>We have curated The Archive around the core benefits of this approach, preserving the documents that illustrate this methodology.</p> 57 <div class="boutons-container institute_"> 58 <a href="archive_home.html" class="carte-bouton"> 59 <div class="carte-corps">

The transdisciplinary nature of the methodology, combining science and art, theory and practice helped us break down traditional barriers to knowledge.</p> 71 <p>This methodology operates in cycles.</p> 72 <p>We established temporary residences in various cities, each with different urban social contracts. During each residency, the on-site Edgelands team was responsible for curating and hosting spaces for conversations with local stakeholders about security, digital surveillance, and its impact on the urban social contract. Every pop-up event followed a spiral structure, with each activity informing and shaping the themes and discussions of the next.</p> 73 <p>In each city, we followed a similar cycle divided into three phases: framing the discussion, popping up, and popping down.</p> 74 <div class="boutons-stacked"> 75 <a href="./institute/methodology-playbook.html"> 76 <div class="carte-corps"> 77 <span class="carte-titre">Explore our methodology and the activities we curated and hosted</span> 78 </div> 79 <div class="carte-pied"> 80 <span class="carte-action"></span> 81 </div> 82 </a> 83 </div> 84 </details> 85 <details> 86 <summary>A Long-Lasting Community</summary> 87 <p>At its heart, Edgelands was a collective of individuals who came together to form a vibrant community. Our work existed solely because of these people.</p> 88 <p>Throughout our journey, we cultivated an internationally diverse network of artists, researchers, policymakers, community organisers, and many others. Yet this network extended beyond the confines of the Institute, continuing to grow, adapt, and connect.</p> 89 <p><i>To explore an interactive visualisation of this community, click the 'Edgelands Network' link below.</i></p> 90 <div class="boutons-stacked institute_"> 91 <a href="network.html" class="carte-bouton"> 92 <div class="carte-corps"> 93 <span class="carte-titre">Edgelands Network</span> 94 </div> 95 <div class="carte-pied"> 96 <span class="carte-action"></span> 97 </div> 98 </a> 99 <a href="./institute/networks-future.html" class="carte-bouton"> 100 <div class="carte-corps"> 101 <span class="carte-titre">Networks and the Future</span> 102 </div> 103 <div class="carte-pied"> 104 <span class="carte-action"></span> 105 </div> 106 </a> 107 </div> 108 </details> 109 <details> 110 <summary>Explore the launch of the Institute</summary> 111 <div class="grid-container"> 112 <a href="./institute/edgelands-soft-launch.html" class="carte-bouton"> 113 <div> 114 <span class="content-carte-titre">Edgelands Soft Launch</span> 115 </div> 116 <div class="content-carte-excerpt">Video 117 </div> 118 </a> 119 <a href="./institute/edgelands-soft-launch-act.html" class="carte-bouton"> 120 <div> 121 <span class="content-carte-titre">Edgelands Soft Launch: Asian Central Time</span> 122 </div> 123 <div class="content-carte-excerpt">Video 124 </div> 125 </a> 126 <a href="./institute/edgelands-institute-launch.html" class="carte-bouton"> 127 <div>

This final phase was marked by a public closing event, a celebration of the spaces we had created and an opportunity to share the key insights we had gained.</p> 138 <p>However, âpopping downâ was not about leaving. It was about inviting and encouraging residents, whether as neighbours, professionals, academics or policymakers, to continue exploring and building on the themes and conversations introduced during the Institute's time there.</p> 139 <p>We wove these local insights into the fabric of our subsequent pop-ups, ensuring that each new project built on the last.
