Watermans Theatre in west London is showcasing the UK premiere of Building Sight, a project bringing together a group of art practitioners looking the city and the politics of urban development, through new media technology in creative and innovative ways. It has been developed by Raqs Media Collective.

“We are living in Delhi at a time when the city is becoming a significant (and much-hyped) node in the network of global capital. This moment is accompanied by a colossal process of destruction and construction, especially as the approaching 2010 Commonwealth Games provide a basis for a ‘modernizing’ consensus. Currently, we see older residential and commercial forms de-legitimized, evicted and destroyed and built over with a new infrastructure of transport networks, shopping malls and ‘heritage sites’ appropriate to a global city,” says Monica Narula, one of the curators.
