A SYMPOSIUM EXPLORING THE SPATIAL POETICS OF VANCOUVER<\/strong>
\n
\n” …mapping has emerged in the information age as a means to make the complex
\naccessible, the hidden visible, the unmappable mappable. As we struggle to steer
\nthorough the torrent of data unleashed by the Internet, and to situate ourselves in a world in which commerce and community have been redefined in terms of networks, mapping has become a way to make sense of things…” – Janet Abrams and Peter Hall<\/em><\/p>\n

The city has come of age in this spatial construct. Terminal City\u2014the colonial outpost of Vancouver\u2014celebrates its quasquicentennial in 2011. One hundred and twenty\u2013five years into the project, recent art, architecture and performance works have begun to critically position themselves and respond to the spatial condition of the city. For Vancouver, this period of introspection has coincided with a cultural shift in contemporary mapping practices, a shift that reflects a fundamental change in how we think about and represent our relationship to the spaces we inhabit. Changes in the global, economic, environmental and digital worlds have created the platform, and the necessity, for interdisciplinary strategies to understand these new spatial references.<\/p>\n

Cartographic Exploits: Marking Territory in the Contemporary City<\/em> brings together an interdisciplinary group of cartographers, architects, designers, writers and artists\u2014the symposium will discuss the significance of this current trend and explore how these practices are shaping our own understanding of the city and making new interpretations possible.<\/p>\n
