Hito Steyerl: Actual Reality OS | Serpentine Digital

Using data about wealth, social housing and austerity collected with local research partners and community groups the app shows the Serpentine Galleries together with Hito Steyerl shaped and abstracted by the actual forces of its social environment, charting real-life inequality through virtual means. This warped simulacrum of the physical building is designed to restore a social vision to an often unseen stark class reality, demanding the visitor leave their comfort zone and question their surroundings. The research partners include Architects for Social Housing, Disabled People Against Cuts, Reclaiming Our Futures Alliance, Unite the Union Hotel Workers’ Branch and The Voice of Domestic Workers.
