Abstract_
This story began from a simple line on paper and continued to early representations, scribbled by the traveler’s hand, during the 17th century while commuting by carriage all the way to the various trajectories traced on the landscape canvas by motorized vehicles that became the rough draft of our infrastructure, re-territorializing every era to our up-to-date footprint.
The reading of this ‘mobility’ saga unfolds through one of its most enigmatic characteristics that involves specific objectives, projects and aspirations that crossed different historic moments to come at their best, most updated tech/digital version and thus, the unpredictable happened.
Originally, it was the intention towards a destination but not always the destination itself. The most intriguing and inspiring part of it, was this magic aspect of being at a precise moment in time, in a specific place along the journey. Mobility at any era has showed an unquestioned obedience to its technical self, it is the element of randomness however, that brought about the shift of progress.
