Trans-Cultural mapping: Iceland inside and out

http://pallit.lhi.is/insideout

Iceland inside and out is a 10 day workshop that will take place in
Iceland from June 30 till July 9, 2004. The workshop is one of a series
of 6 workshops taking place in several countries throughout Europe as
the Trans-Cultural Mapping project
(http://locative.rixc.lv/workshop/index.cgi?Home) organized by RIXC in
Riga, Latvia (http://www.rixc.lv).

As the workshop title suggests, this workshop will, on one hand, map out
inner regions of Iceland and on the other, outer regions (fishing
waters). Due to the remoteness of these two locations, the workshop will
also have to address several technical issues. Thus the primary focus of
the workshop will be to create and develope open software and tools for
artistic/cultural, collaborative, interactive mapping.

The main purpose of the workshops website will be to allow the public to
literally follow along with what is going on throughout the workshop. An
interactive, realtime map will constantly display where we are and where
we have been, complete with links to media-files related to various
points on the map. The site also has a "blog" element where workshop
participants will constantly be posting information on what is going on
and things we may be thinking about or working on.
