Subject: Cartographic Biennale Lausanne 2011 - Call for Paper & Contest
Apologies for cross-posting.
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:
