The second edition of the cartographic biennale will take place at
the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne on April 14th and 15th,
2011. It is organized by the laboratory Chôros, a member of the
Eidolon network.
Moving Maps is a threefold event.
- A Symposium : Mapping Ethics. New Trends in
Cartography and Social Responsibility. It aims to highlight
the epistemological and theoretical links between cartography and
human sciences. Keynotes speakers : Emanuela Casti, Franco
Farinelli, Bruno Latour, Hervé Le Bras, Jacques Lévy, Michel
Lussault, Patrick Poncet, Giacomo Rambaldi, Carlo Ratti.
- A Contest : MiniMax Mapping. Designed to reward a
cartographic innovation, which combines graphic effectiveness and
sobriety. The jury, chaired by Carlo Ratti (MIT), will award a
single prize of CHF 5000 during the closing session on April
15th.
- An exhibition : Répons. Portrait de carte avec groupe.
It will put in contrast representations of spaces by drawing from
two worlds: that of contemporary art and that of cartography.
All information, including the details for papers submission, is
available on the event's web site:
