Domestic Affairs

The house is a home to a paradox Domestic Affairs explores the house as an interface to our social, economic and political lives. Our home is not just the place where we live; it is a place where we encounter friends and strangers, where we exchange goods and services, where we engage and influence political systems, and where we participate in the global community.

The house is a home to a paradox. It houses the simultaneous desire to share private matters in the public realm and to seek privacy in public. While we install wifi-blocking technology, we invite unknown guests to rent one of our rooms for a night or two.

public

In our struggle to balance privacy and popularity, trust and distrust, engagement and retreat, the house becomes a filter for our societal relations, manifesting the attitude we have towards our local and global neighbours and political and economic systems. More than bricks and mortar, a financial asset, or a set of appliances and technologies, home is a state of mind.

When does a house turn into a home? We become familiar with surrounding objects in the house through time. When we reach a certain level of fam­iliarity with the surround­ ings, our feelings towards a space shift from the unfamil­ iar to the familiar; therefore turning the house into a home.

Qatar is undergoing constant change. Living in this experi­ ence of transition from old to new at such a fast pace is amazingly overwhelming. The Fire Station building is one of the oldest iconic buildings in Qatar. It served as a civil defence building for over 30 years, but unlike many old buildings that got demolished, this building was repurposed to be an artist residency by Qatar Museums after the civil defence have moved into their new location.

This public building has a sense of home, a remem­ brance of the past. Hosting the Domestic Affairs exhib­ ition in this location reinforce the paradox of home. When we become more familiar with public spaces, and less famil­ iar with our own houses due to constant change, home be­ comes the place we are most familiar with.

SMART HOME

Your home is so smart that it knows what you want, need and like. It is so intelligent that it recommends you what you like and deliberately makes the best decisions for you. Your home is so hospitable that it turned you from being a landlord to being a guest.

Your home can be your biggest expense and your major source of income. You can hire people to work in your home and you can make money by working out of your living room. Your home is so comfortable and valuable that it just turned into your workplace.

Try setting your price relative to the price of a movie ticket. If it takes about two hours to earn the money to go to a two-hour movie, that seems fair. Movies here are $10 a ticket, I think, so I would pay $5 an hour for kids under the age of 16.

Lay out your proposal from the beginning so you can avoid the awkward car ride conversation when you are dropping them off. “Is that enough? Is that okay?”

“Yeah, it’s fine. Whatever is fine.” This also lets the teenager refuse the job if they feel it isn’t worth their time.

Point out exactly what you would like to have them do while you are gone. “I need you to feed them all, and then clear up the table and put the dishes in the sink. If you do the dishes, I will pay you $2 extra. Then put the kids to bed, make sure they have their pajamas on and their teeth brushed. After the kids are in bed, if you want an extra $5, feel free to clean up the house.” Think of hiring a teenage babysitter as a training opportunity for their upcoming “real job”.

Airbnb lists properties in illegal Israeli settlements

The global accommodation bookings website boasts listings in over 190 countries, including Israel and the “Palestinian Territories”, as the West Bank and Gaza are described on the company’s website. But while a search for Airbnb properties in the Palestinian Territories turns up rentals in the Palestinian cities of Ramallah and Nablus, properties in settlements such as Efrat, Ma’ale Rehavam and Tekoa are listed as being in Israel.

Those Jewish settlements are beyond “the green line” – the border defined in the 1949 Armistice Agreements between the armies of Israel, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria after the 1948 war.

Israeli settlements in Palestinian territory are generally viewed as illegal by the international community and have long been seen as a major roadblock to a viable Palestinian state.

“People come to us knowing that Efrat is part of the state of Israel, and are not concerned with safety and security issues,” said Lily, the host of a cottage advertised on Airbnb at NIS471 (US$120) per night. Efrat is a Jewish settlement that was established in 1983 on occupied Palestinian land, 12km south of Jerusalem and 6.5 km east of the green line. Guests would have to travel through two Israeli military checkpoints to reach Lily’s cottage. “There are risks everywhere in Israel and in the world – Paris, California, Tel Aviv, Chicago,” she said.

“We follow laws and regulations on where we can do business and investigate concerns raised about specific listings,” Papas said, but he would not respond directly to questions re-

garding which laws and regulations it considers itself bound by. In locations where both the Israeli and Palestinian governments claim jurisdiction, it’s unclear which country’s rules Airbnb is following. There are 13,000 Airbnb listings in Israel, and in 2014 the company’s rentals were used by 128,000 guests, according to Haaretz.

Husam Zomlot, ambassador at large for Palestine, condemned the company for hosting listings on occupied land. “It’s not only controversial, it’s illegal and criminal,” Zomlot said. “This website is promoting stolen property and land. There will come a time when companies like this, who profit from the occupation, will be taken to court.”

Airbnb is listing dozens of properties located in Jewish settlements on occupied Palestinian land as being inside the state of Israel, raising questions about the technology platform’s legal position in profiting from rentals on the land.

Staying in an Airbnb rental in a settlement “facilitates the commission of the crime of establishing settlements” and “therefore aids and abets the crime”, said John Dugard, professor of international law and former UN special rapporteur on Palestinian human rights.

Similarly, Airbnb “could in theory be prosecuted in [a European Union] country with aiding and abetting the commission of a crime” due to “making money from property built on an illegal settlement”, Dugard says.

Airbnb did not respond directly to queries about its standing under international law.

Thousands watch Korean teen eat dinner every night Every evening, 14-year-old Kim Sung-jin orders fried chicken, delivery pizza or Chinese food to eat in a small room in his family’s home south of Seoul. He gorges on food as he chats before a live camera with hundreds, sometimes thousands, of teenagers watching.

That’s the show, and it makes Kim money: 2 million won ($1,700) in his most successful episode. Better known to his viewers by the nickname Patoo, he is one of the youngest broadcasters on Afreeca TV, an app for live-broadcasting video online launched in 2006.

Kim, who has a delicate physique and chopstick-like slight limbs, has been broadcasting himself eating almost every evening since he was 11. Sometimes he invites friends to eat with him.

To add fun, he once wore a

blonde wig and dressed as a woman.

Kim started the show essentially to find someone to eat with. His parents worked in another city so he was living with his grandparents, and they ate dinner so early he got hungry at night. He says the show made his dining more regular, although most of his meals on Afreeca TV begin after 10 p.m. The show also brought him unexpected joy: He said that even though he’s just an ordinary teenager, “people say hello to me on the street.”

Many connect the popular­ ity of Meok Bang to the increasing number of South Koreans who live alone, and to the strong social aspects of food in this society.

more intimate,” said Ahn Joon-soo, an executive at Afreeca TV. Ahn Won-jun, a 17-year-old high school student, said he prefers to eat dinner in his room to watch Kim’s Meok Bang, rather than dining with his parents.

Kim is not a particularly polite virtual dinner guest. He burps loudly before his audiences and sometimes walks off abruptly, announcing with some specificity that he needs to use the bathroom. He usually leaves his fans with a mission, during his absence, promising a prize to the person who last clicks the “like” button when he is back.

Why do people keep coming to this couple’s home looking for lost phones?

It started the first month that Christina Lee and Michael Saba started living together. An angry family came knocking at their door demanding the return of a stolen phone. Two months later, a group of friends came with the same request. The visitors, who show up in the morning, afternoon, and in the middle of the night, sometimes accompanied by police officers, always say the same thing: their phone-tracking apps are telling them that their smartphones are in this house in a suburb of Atlanta.

But the phones aren’t there, Lee and Saba always protest, mystified at being fingered by these apps more than a dozen times since February 2015.

“I’m sorry you came all this way. This happens a lot,” they’d explain.

pany, says geolocation tech like this usually looks first to the phone’s GPS information (which relies on satellites), then to the cell towers to which it was recently connected, then WiFi fingerprints based on maps of WiFi networks created by companies like Skyhook, and then to the IP address, which tends to be the least accurate. He thought it sounded like a flaw in cell tower triangulation. “We rely on these tools and this data but we do so blindly,” said Westin.

“Technology is not perfect.

Law enforcement can rely on it and be wrong.”

The most frustrating thing for Saba and Lee is that there’s no definite answer for why it’s happening, no government agency willing to take ownership over the issue, and so no way to get it to stop.

The couple, who are in their 20s, she a journalist and he an engineer, worry the police will kick down their door one day, a scenario that has happened before based on faulty Find-My-iPhone tracking. “It really drives home how unsafe and fallible some of this technological evidence is,” said Saba by phone.

Final solutions and many agreements that have not been implemented even became news, like waves drowning us.

Whether it’s a physical building, a country or your Facebook account, we all know how it is to feel at home. The process of seeking home - or providing home to someone - can be exciting and pleasing or dangerous and painful. Finding home might mean having to find out who you are, first.

A loophole in a United Nations charter has allowed Dennis Hope to sell plots on the moon for more than 30 years. If you ask Dennis Hope, he’ll tell you he’s the richest man on Earth—in fact, he’ll say he’s the richest man in the Solar System. Why? Because, as far as he’s concerned, he owns most of it.

In the early 1980s, Hope, then unemployed for about a year, thought he’d be a good property owner and could make a living by managing real estate. He looked out the window and saw more unclaimed property than he could possibly f­ athom – the moon. He remembered a tidbit from a political science course he took in college – the 1967 United Nations Outer Space Treaty said no country could own the moon, but it says nothing about individuals.

Hope wrote a letter to the United Nations saying the moon was his and asked the group to come up with a legal reason why an individual could not claim ownership of the moon. He never heard back.

“I sent the United Nations a declaration of ownership detailing my intent to subdivide and sell the moon and have never heard back,” he says. “There is a loophole in the treaty—it does not apply to individuals.”

Since then, he’s sold more than 611 million acres of land on the moon. Individual,

one-acre lots sell for $19.95 ($36.50 after a “lunar tax” and shipping and handling of the deed) and there are discounts for larger plots.

He once sold a “country-sized” plot of land—2.66 million acres—for $250,000.

He’s sold plots on the moon to three former presidents (George H.W. Bush, Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan).

He’s president of the Galactic Government, a democratic republic that represents landowners on the moon and some of his other properties (he claimed Mercury, Mars, Venus, Jupiter’s moon Io, and Pluto while he was at it).

Customers can buy the entirety of Pluto for $250,000.

According to Tanja Masson-Zwaan, president of the International Institute of Space Law, the United Nations never ­ r esponded because the treaty applies to both countries and its citizens, she told National Geographic.

“What Hope is doing does not give people buying pieces of paper the right to ownership of the moon,” she told the magazine in 2009. Nonetheless, Hope continues to sell acre plots on the moon seemingly unabated.
