Destructuring Space: The Subversity of Decay Within Hegemonic Matrices is presenting an exploration of degenerative processes within the digital realm. Throughout her research, Majidi has been looking at the infrastructural matrix of economical and political operating systems, with their hyper-exploitation of both material and human labor. Her research is focused on the possible ways in which this system can be infiltrated, subverted, interpolated, and interrupted in order to unfold new potentialities and openings. By sending digital material through various types of software, she seeks to uncover its coherency and new kinds of motions, materialities, and structures.
