Raqs along with Atelier BowWow designed a temporary structure for &#8216;How Latitudes Become Forms&#8217;,  an exhibition commissioned by the Walker Art Center. Together, they assembled an installation that hosts network-based art by 14 artists from Brazil, China, India, Japan, South Africa, Turkey, and the United States. This also includes Raqs&#8217; own work OPUS (Open Platform for Unlimited Signification).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">Shown during Raqs\u2019 early years, this work is a reflection of their interest in the materiality and forms of barriers and gateways that surround spaces and allow for identified entries and exits. In counterpoint to this, they would even explore online spaces, as spaces where different codes of co-habitation, may or may not be seen to apply. <em>TAS <\/em>revolves around Raqs\u2019 thinking about the politics of cohabitation in spaces, both online and physical, which would articulate a scepticisim towards the anxiety of boundaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\"><em>TAS<\/em> is a fluid configuration of space, software, furniture, equipment and interaction possibilities, that echoes (in an architectural and material design sense) the ideas that animate the free &#8220;cultural&#8221; software initiatives. The structure, made of crates used to pack art objects in museums, snow fencing, plastic hangers, clips, A4 sized paper and post it notes, unpacks to form a refuge for people, computers, texts, signs made with pen and paper, and software that privileges itinerancy, flexibility of usage, and the possibility of role-shifts between user. <em>TAS <\/em>invokes the notion of the &#8220;user&#8221; as &#8220;producer&#8221;, and invite collaborative and sociable exchanges of images, sound and text, in a way that seeks to counter the \u201cone passive viewer per machine\u201d ethic of most net-based cultural interventions. The architecture breaks away from an individualistic experience of looking at a screen. It is a gesture towards Hakim Bey\u2019s notion of a \u2018Temporary Autonomous Zone\u2019\u2014an imagination of a space where the act of gathering becomes a site of exploration and experimentation, rather than one that is shaped by the protocols of dominant narratives.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">Taking from the term \u201cSarai\u201d, a word that has its roots in \u201cCaravansarai\u201d, <em>TAS<\/em> too, becomes a\u00a0 resting place where travellers across social divides found food, refuge, and company\u2014an installation that foregrounds exchange and hospitality. Its porous, improvised architecture channels the convivial spirit of the original sarai, offering a temporary shelter for shared inquiry, connection, and cultural exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">Further, the <em>TAS<\/em> is seen as an essentially portable, nomadic construction, which can move easily, adapt to different exhibition spaces and requirements, and be quick and easy to assemble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\"
