Map Generator Workshop
mapping out global power structures
Author: Brian Holmes
The workshop will introduce a project through short
presentations, then turn to practical discussions about how to go
further with the database and interface, as well as the research
itself.
Location: De Salon
Date: Friday September 12, 14:00 - 16:00
Over the past few years, the group Bureau d'Etudes and various
collaborators have been making attempts to map out global power
structures under the conditions of contemporary capitalism. The
desire for more precision and objectivity, but also for wider access
and greater usefulness, has led to the idea of creating an
open-source database and visual interface for the gathering and
presentation of information about governing networks and power
concentrations: a map generator. The project has begun, but is still
in its very earliest stages; collaborations on all aspects are
welcome. The workshop will introduce the project through short
presentations, then turn to practical discussions about how to go
further with the database and interface, as well as the research
itself.
