The city of Rio de Janeiro has an advanced command and control centre from which various scenarios - from traffic jams to acts of terrorism and natural disasters - can be predicted and potentially prevented. The installation Control Syntax Rio, on show at Het Nieuwe Instituut from 12 June 2016, shows how this Olympic city is being read as a matrix of potential calamities and the impact this has on the social climate of the city.
