Map Fest Evening 2: Mapping for clarity July 8, 2010

Map Fest takes place at Mediamatic on July 6, 8 and 9. Map Fest brings together kindred spirits to explore, create, define and oppose maps.

The second evening of Map Fest is dedicated to Mapping for Clarity. Guests are Richard Rogers, Catalogtree and De Geuzen. Urban sociologist and researcher Merijn Oudenampsen will be moderating the evening.

Mapping for Clarity is about making sense of data. Abstract sets of numbers are transformed into fluctuating graphs and beautiful visualizations. Power structures and traditional hierarchies are uncovered and defied. Mapping makes the intangible world around us tangible, and influences the way we experience, use and create space.
