I directed this seminar and workshop that presented in 2009 projects that work on active maps and the territory, showing the possibilities of geolocalisation technologies (GPS ) in the development of artistic projects.

The phrase “my map is not your map” can be pronounced mainly in two ways: with a strangeness tone, in the context of visiting a new city, realising that the same space is not organized in the same way as in our friend’s map. In this case the next reactions might be “What is the right map? are we lost?”. The second possible tone would be more severe or aggressive, a reassertion reclaiming a vision of the space that others does not share, as in the context of the palestinian-israeli territories.
Parallel to the seminar it was held a workshop centered in conceptual interactive design of locative artworks over mobile systems and its developing with Mscape.
