** MAP ME IF YOU WILL
*
By the mere fact of living an ordinary modern urban life, we produce a
huge amount of information about ourselves that we are hardly aware of,
nor we usually see or make use of. Through this data we become
traceable, accessible, predictable -- and clearly enough -- ideal
clients of information-based capitalism. So if we cannot prevent the
production and the corporate or governmental use of this data without
changing our lifestyle completely, how can we at least benefit from it
ourselves? How can we share this information with the society at large
or the community we live in to our common advantage? And how could we
even build systems ourselves that collect data for our own purposes?
Concurrently, the complexity of human actions and interactions increases
with the accumulation and growing capacity of the digital tools we are
using. We may therefore better understand what's going on around us if
we find ways to visualise and interpret the data which we produce. How
can our processes and the correlations of our actions be represented in
meaningful and inspiring ways? Are there inventive ways to
visualise/represent data that go beyond the pure digital and turn
abstract data into concrete entities/objects?
'map me if you will' is a programme devised by guest curator Susanne
Jaschko. Susanne is a Berlin based independent curator of contemporary
art with a focus on public and experimental art and digital culture. Her
most recent project was the Process as Paradigm exhibition in Laboral
Centro del Arte in Gijon, curated in collaboration with Lucas Evers. In
addition to her independent work, she has previously worked at the
Netherlands Media Art Institute in Amsterdam and as a curator/deputy
director of transmediale festival for art and digital culture in Berlin.
The deadline for proposals is *Monday 8 November 2010*.
