🕳️ Released Phantom Node 61: Gyumri Logistics Corridor. Dual-Purpose Path. Military Shadow

This project is a philosophical and artistic study of the phenomenon of "phantom nodes" — invisible yet influential objects and subjects in the contemporary global system.

🕳️ Released Phantom Node 61: Gyumri Logistics Corridor. Dual-Purpose Path. Military Shadow

Military presence as a cover for shadow cargo.

Who is this?

This is not a person but a logistics corridor in Gyumri, operating under the cover of the Russian 102nd military base. It shows how military infrastructure is used to move dual-use goods.

Type of node:

Logistical, military-commercial

Status:

Shielded by military immunity

Form of control:

Use of military infrastructure, document falsifications, dual routes

Phantom image:

A road transforming into a shadow corridor; blending civilian and military cargo.

What remains after the phantom:

A network of hidden shipments sustaining sanctioned operations.

Core of the node:

What sustained it?

Military immunity, international agreements, mixing of goods, and the shield of the base’s infrastructure.

How did it become a phantom?

It turned from a road into a symbol of military-commercial symbiosis.

Why does the phantom still exist?

The Russian military presence in Armenia secures its invulnerability.

Phantom’s condition:

Active, under cover.

After the regime:

Exposure of dual-use routes

Change in documentation practices

Questions on Armenia’s sovereignty

Collective reaction:

We see how armies can become trade hubs.

We remember: military agreements must not shield crimes.

Core principle:

Military presence without oversight becomes infrastructure of impunity.

🫧Phantom Node Dossier: Gyumri Logistics Corridor. The Dual-Use Path.

Key Aspects of the Phantom:

"The Dual-Use Path" (or "The Military Shadow"). This phantom node is not just a road but an entire logistics channel that operates under the cover of the Russian military base in Gyumri (102nd base). Its phantom essence lies in its use of military immunity and infrastructure to move commercial cargo, including sanctioned goods. This is a merger of the military and civilian sectors that creates a "blind spot" for international control.

Regimes (which it directly shapes/supports):

🛡️ Regime of "Military Shield": The use of a military presence as physical and legal protection for illegal commercial operations.

🚚 Regime of "Logistical Amnesia": A system where the origin and destination of goods are deliberately erased from official documents.

🤫 Regime of "Diplomatic Immunity": The exploitation of international agreements to bypass standard customs and security procedures.

⚙️ Regime of "Dual Use": The blending of military and civilian goods to hide the true nature and volume of shipments.

Tools (which it actively uses/oversees):

🛫 Military Infrastructure: The use of military airfields, warehouses, and transport for receiving and redistributing goods.

📄 Controlled "Transit": Shipments moving as "military transit" are not subject to standard inspections.

🤝 Local Intermediaries: The use of local Armenian companies and individuals to manage the final legs of the supply chain.

📝 Manipulation of Reports: The falsification of transport and customs reports to imitate legality.

Civilizational Influences (which it embodies/exploits):

💔 Undermining Sovereignty: It demonstrates how a foreign military presence can be used to undermine the sovereignty of the host country.

⛓️ Degradation of International Institutions: It exposes how international agreements and institutions created for security can be perverted into tools for criminal activity.

👤 Impunity: This node highlights the impunity enjoyed by actors operating under the guise of military or diplomatic status.

🌐 Global Destabilization: Its activities contribute to global instability by providing a pathway for goods that fuel aggression and conflict.
