Pixelache 2011 lädt ein zum Workshop*

*Mapping in Progress
10. März, 10-18 Uhr
auf Suomenlinna*/*Helsinki

A one-day open think-tank on mapping as artistic practice, targeted to 
artists, curators and people with a background in technology or science. 
In the morning, Christian Nold <http://www.softhook.com>, Wouter Van den 
Broeck <http://www.addith.be/>, Esther Polak <http://www.estherpolak.nl> 
and Ivar van Bekkum <http://www.ivarvanbekkum.nl> will give inside into 
their individual approaches to mapping. The afternoon is devoted to 
working in smaller workgroups on subjects such as the cultural and 
artistic relevance of mapping, the appropriation of technological 
systems for mapping, the relation between the constructed map and real 
space, and the ethical implications of mapping.
The workshop aims at providing a solid knowledge of mapping in the art 
context through critical reflection, hands-on experience and 
collaborative exercise. In addition, participants are invited to put 
their own mapping projects up to discussion. Thus the workshop may 
generate ideas for new projects, improve existing concepts and result in 
new collaborations. Please provide a short description of your mapping 
project(s) or let us know which specific questions you would like to 
discuss with the group.
