This panel offers a collective reflection on the use and meaning of land in Latin America, taking the Capricorn Bioceanic Corridor (Chile–Brazil) and other projects as an infrastructure that projects extractive futures onto territories in the Global South marked by histories of dispossession, violence, and fragmented memory.
Based on an ongoing transdisciplinary research project—bringing together scholars, artists, and activists from Chile, Brazil, Argentina, Germany, and Mexico—we approach these projects not only as physical objects, but also as imaginary artifacts that produce forms of time, inhabiting, and exclusion. Rather than accepting their promise of linear development, we analyze them as “hyperobjects” (Morton), whose scale and complexity render them overwhelming and precarious.
Through artistic practices, techno-environmental approaches, historical analysis, and critical cartography, these planned infrastructures—the “ruins of the future”—are made visible, showing how they already produce displacements, extractivisms, and anticipated violence.
