-We visualize environments, ideologies, information, cities and people. We use tools and methods, often technological, to visualize the invisible. What is considered invisible is different for different people. Things can be invisible for specific individuals or specific groups of people; they can be fully or partially invisible.Invisibility is made by us, it is a subjective phenomenon, and can have elements of faith. Physical things can remind us of things that are invisible. Using technology to visualize the invisible has often much to do with privilege and power. Visualizing the invisible has been a part of philosophy, reasoning and meaning-making. +We visualize environments, ideologies, information, cities and people.

There is an illusion of choice, when in effect everything is the same. Economic profit and cost efficiency are shared and visualized. Every individual is so visible that they become invisible and the value of their achievements are ignored. Excess, resource depletion, greed and jealousy are kept invisible. +  * [[franco]]: Radical openness and unsustainable homogenization.
