Ecomap Lab

Friday 25 September

Waag Society, FING, FutureEverything and Amsterdam Innovation Motor will host a one-day EcoMap Lab at PICNIC. We will build a shared understanding on how to map the environment (eg. energy, waste & mobility), aggregate the data and visualize it to promote behavioral change and reduce CO2 footprints. We will use alternative measurement networks and services that enable people to take active part. Based on international examples we will develop prototypes for getting, aggregating & visualizing environmental data in effective, useable and unexpected ways.

With:
Daniel Kaplan, Usman Haque, Drew Hemment, rene post, tom demeyer, Shane Mitchell, Nerea Calvillo

Be a part of the EcoMap Lab at PICNIC '09 to get involved in re-shaping how environmental data is gathered, interpreted and presented.

PICNIC Labs
PICNIC labs are part of the wildly buzzing PICNIC Festival. They bring together international thinkers and makers in an intense co-creation process, advancing the field by combining very diverse expertise & experiences in a playful setting. There will be Labs on sustainability, augmented cities, alternative money systems and more. Labs kick-off with a plenary panel (THINK), then go off into an invitation-only intense hands-on making session (MAKE) and present their results at the main conference hall (PITCH).
