| Sumario: | [EN] If the real territory and its topology create a layer of information that is easily traceable, there are also highways and paths that are less perceptible. How to make visible what the maps never show? Social links, organizational practices, community strategies, traces of an historical memory, formal reconfigurations in the urban structure, etc.-these are aspects that define a morphology that is not as neat as the representation of the space in cartographical terms. The lattice of relationships that takes place in the territories is not what the maps usually represent. This is a transversal axis that I call “meta-map”: relational tissues that shape and re-shape dynamic and mutable universes, an immaterial warp that emerges and articulates links that go beyond the map.From this starting point, I try to propose other strategies of mapping, by considering the territory as an open-source surface. The project “Scripts, Cartography of constant processes” –a project of urban countersignage- reinforces the potential of the processes of the territory through a kind of agency that is based on a performative nature. This project develops a critical point of view regarding the cartographical strategies and the definition of territories, that aims at focusing at individuals in their neighborhood context. Through techniques of psychogeographical drifts and tools of graphic and narrative representation, these vanishing points -that go through the social relations, collective imaginaries, communicational dynamics, etc.- could probably emerge. Light, for its part, from its condition of being an “enabler of visibility”, unfolds the invisible layers of the socio-urban landscape. This work aims at developing a point of view that may go beyond the concept of technological inter-mediation, usually linked to the notion of interface within the context of technocultures and, thus, focuses on light as an interface for action and as an enabler of dialogues between individuals and their context –being the light the canvas for collective textualities. |
