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. Location: De Salon Date: Friday September 12, 14:00 - 16:00 Participants: Bureau d'Etudes Brian Holmes Hervé Trioreau
