Informed by frequent visits to the city of Detroit, Machine Space is a 24 minute film and cinematic translation of a landscape as an artifact of past and present socio-spatial relations; or, in this case, a built environment as a sedimentation of racial inequality. The film-as-research needed to be sensitive and give voice to the extreme past and present social inequalities of the site. It presents innovative methods of depicting the landscape of a city and space as a relational property in an urban context.
