Roots of mapping and Artivism / Websites that are working as directories
of information and data
1.1 Introduction
Mapping
Michael Boyce -English-
If mapping can be said to be a means of cultural expression, then let
this be said to be (a) mapping. It's not clear to me that any expression
could be truly outside of cultural identification. So the moment when
that culture is identified could be said to be (another) mapping. In fact,
it may be the case that mapping is in some way identical to description
and analysis. And what I would like to examine is the relationship between
mapping in that sense of description/analysis, and ownership [read]
Why Map?
The Techno-epistemological outlook Richard Rogers -English-
The essay concerns what kind of commitments researchers and designers
take on when they map social networks. More specifically, it takes up
what may happen when social network researchers slope towards intelligence

1.2 Roots/artivism
Behind the curtains.
Paolo Gerbudo -English-
Radical information visualisations in the context of political communication.
Simulacra and the politics of visibility. Contemporary society has often
been termed as the society of the image. The term “image”
in this context is commonly assigned a set of negative features, such
as superficiality and ephemerality. [read

"Untitled"
(Wishes, Lies and Dreams) Video Art Project.
Sarawut Chutiwongpeti -English-
My main concern within this project is exploring our mind, unconscious
and interpretation levels of dreams as well as the possibility to understand
psychic intuition. The specifics of the realization of dreams emotions,
thoughts, imagination, sex drive actions and interactions of a dreamer
raises the question of the viewer and that simultaneity that makes our
mind and spirit work together with our brain to be understood. [read]

Mapa de Barcelona 2004, ¿De qué
va realmente el Fórum? (2005). Vicente
Escobar -Castellano-
El Mapa ¿De qué va realmente el Fórum? ha sido una
herramienta política de alto voltaje durante el 2004 en Barcelona.
Como alguien dijo, el Fórum de las Culturas ha sido la primera
política de Estado que los movimientos consiguen hacer fracasar
en muchos años. Un proceso de minado paciente y perseverante llevado
a cabo por múltiples colectivos, desde una multiplicidad de frentes
y perspectivas (decálogo contra el Fórum, campañas
gráficas, campaña de acciones, conferencias... ), y es que
dada la compleja viscosidad del evento no podía ser de otro modo.

Mapas / tarot.
Vicente Escobar -Castellano-
el tarot sin-futuro: remapea las figuras que salen a bailar… una
danza de paracaídas, una música de vértigo (el caracol,
la soledad, la precariedad... pero también, la máquina de
guerra, el paracaidista nocturno, la amiga…) [leer]
Projecte
Per Un Mapa Del Poder Immobiliari A Barcelona.
Stefano, Marc -Català-
La idea de realitzar un mapa del poder immobiliari ve de la voluntat de
posar a prova una intuïció: que hi ha una gran quantitat d'informació
pública o semipública dispersa però accessible que
seria de molta ajuda als moviments social si fóssim capaços
de recopilarla, analitzarla, ferla
comprensible i utilitzarla. [llegir]
Exploring enron. Jeffrey Heer -English-
This project attempts to take the first steps toward an exploratory data
environment for e-mail corpora, using the Enron e-mail corpus as a motivating
data set. The interface--currently named "enronic"--unifies
information visualization techniques with various algorithms for processing
the e-mail corpus, including social network inference, message categorization,
and community analysis. Though still a preliminary design, enronic shows
promise as a platform for more tightly coupling manual and automated data
analysis.License type : copyright [see]
Death and Taxes:
A visual look at where US tax dollars go. -English- deathandtaxes[at]gmail.com
Most Americans are unaware of how much of their taxes fund the military,
and those aware are often misinformed. Jesse Bachman spent close to a
year in extensive research and number crunching to get the facts and produce
this holistic graph with extensive detail. The effort paid off in the
form of an informative map that's easy to read and compare. The author
hopes that it will make people think and ask questions. Why do we spend
more on jets than we do on public housing? Why is the Endowment for the
Arts so small? What's with all this foreign military financing? [see]

Global Attention Profiles.
Recent Research on Media Attention -Ethan Zuckerman- -English-
GAP - the Global Attention Profiles project - tracks the attention that
selected news media outlets pay to different nations of the world. A set
of automated programs performs 1700 web searches every day to determine
what nations news media outlets are paying the most attention to and presents
this information in table and map form. GAP also correlates media attention
to different development statistics, including national GDP and population.
GAP maps of media attention include maps of the relationship between attention
and GDP or population. License type : Creative Commons [read]
Uncloaking
Terrorist Networks. Valdis E.Krebs -English-
This paper looks at mapping covert networks using data available from
news sources on the World Wide Web. Specifically, we examine the network
surrounding the tragic events of September 11th 2001. Through public data
we are able to map a portion of the network centered on the 19 dead hijackers.
This map gives us some insight into the terrorist organization, yet it
is incomplete. Suggestions for further work and research are offered.

Mayo Fuster i Morell -English-
There is a very rich diversity of trajectories and willing under the “visualization”

Los Angeles and the problem of historical Urban Knowledge
Philip J. Ethington
This web site--composed of images (still, panoramic, moving, and sequential), maps, short essays (epistemological, bibliographic, methodological, and conceptual)--is written as a totality; the verbal text and other media are meant to be encountered as a whole. It is "panoramic" in both a figurative and literal sense. It attempts a broad "survey" of a vast metropolis, attempts also to provide deep knowledge about particular places, but frankly confronts all such attempts as exemplary of the intractable epistemological problems urban historians must encounter.

Este mapa, partiendo de las ideas de Rizoma y CSO (Cuerpo Sin Organos) de Deleuze y Guattari, está orientado hacia una experimentación que actua sobre lo real. Es abierto, conectable en todas sus dimensiones, desmontable, alterable, susceptible de recibir constantemente modificaciones. Puede ser quebrado, intervenido, adaptarse a distintos montajes. Tiene múltiples entradas y se va modificando y expandiendo constantemente. Un mapa multidireccional e inestable.

Etude topologique du domaine de la Culture Scientifique, Technique et Industrielle sur le web
Franck Ghitalla
L’objectif de cette étude est de donner une vision pertinente et complète du domaine de la culture scientifique, technique et industrielle (CSTI). Ce domaine n’est pas suffisamment structuré pour qu’on l’appréhende avec les outils classiques de l’analyse du web. Par ailleurs, le domaine est trop riche pour que nous puissions pallier à la main les lacunes de ces outils.

Le web et le débat sur la constitution européenne en France
Franck Ghitalla
Le web constituerait-il désormais un nouveau continent pour les sociologues et les politologues ? Alors que les analyses sur le résultat du référendum sur la Constitution européenne continuent d'affluer, nombre d�entre elles soulignent � sans pouvoir en mesurer précisément l'importance � le rôle tenu par le web dans l'issue du scrutin. Afin d'en avoir le coeur net, nous avons lancé une exploration à grande échelle de la � partie � du web traitant du référendum, et l'avons soumis à analyse. Nous présentons ici quelques constatations marquantes, sur les liens entre sites, qui installent le web comme nouveau territoire offert à l'attention des chercheurs.

Public green
Lize Mogel
The "public green", or town commons, was originally a shared piece of land used for grazing livestock. In 17th and 18th century New England, this type of public space was usually the center of community activity. The public green is thus a referent to both a communal patch of grass and the color of money, demonstrating how economics and politics shape urban terrain

Becoming Wikipedian: Transformation of Participation in a Collaborative Online Encyclopedia
Susan L. Bryant, Andrea Forte, Amy Bruckman
<br />
Traditional activities change in surprising ways when computer-<br />
mediated communication becomes a component of the activity<br />
system. In this descriptive study, we leverage two perspectives on<br />
social activity to understand the experiences of individuals who<br />
became active collaborators in Wikipedia, a prolific,<br />
cooperatively-authored online encyclopedia. Legitimate<br />
peripheral participation provides a lens for understanding<br />
participation in a community as an adaptable process that evolves<br />
over time. We use ideas from activity theory as a framework to<br />
describe our results. Finally, we describe how activity on the<br />
Wikipedia stands in striking contrast to traditional publishing and<br />
suggests a new paradigm for collaborative systems.<br />
