DIY Civic Areal Mapping. Workshop con WeFab-Make The Right Thing

Le mappe possono essere di grande aiuto per facilitare i processi decisionali e le mappature sono state utilizzate molte volte nella storia dell'umanità per fornire riferimenti spaziali alle informazioni soprattutto in casi eccezionali come disastri, calamità naturali o semplice monitoraggio civico per la tutela del territorio.

Airports are the (non)places where the surveillance apparatus shows off its muscles. Airports are where security systems are first tested and fully employed. Airports are where privacy is immolated on the altars of control. Airports are the physical version of an information network.
