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:

We look forward to seeing you in Lausanne next April.
