#Hallstatt: Welcome to
Jurassic World
“Globalization takes place only in capital and data; everything

and photographic meditation on Norbert Artner’s Hallstatt Revisited I
that draws on Ackbar Abbas’s juxtaposition in “Faking Globalization” of
Deleuze’s “any-space-whatever” and Mario Gandelsonas’s “X-urbanism.”
In our reading Artner’s series represents a kind of “twenty-first-century
urbanism with Chinese characteristics” and makes clear the need to distin-
