TWIN CITIES DESIGN CELEBRATION: KNOWLEDGE MAP FELLOWSHIPS ANNOUNCED

The Design Institute is delighted to announce that nine teams have
been awarded Knowledge Maps Fellowships, as a result of our RFP for
new maps of the Twin Cities, as part of the Twin Cities Design
Celebration 2003, generously supported by Target Corporation.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS:
These new maps will be published in time for TCDC Peak Week,
September 1-7, 2003, and tours of the Twin Cities will be offered
based on their 'hotspots'.

The TCDC Knowledge Maps jury included Minneapolis deputy mayor David
Fey, U of M geography professor Roger Miller, Lucy Thompson, Senior
Planner, City of St Paul Planning and Economic Development
department, and Caren Dewar, Deputy Regional Administrator,
Metropolitan Council.

Each of the following teams is awarded a $6,000 honorarium to
research, write and design their Knowledge Map:

* Heather Beal, Nancy Wojack:
"At Home in the Heartland" - what it means to "dwell" in the Twin
Cities, how prized possessions carry the spirit of home(lands), and
what distinguishes a home from a house

* James Boyd-Brent, Thomas Fisher, Kristofer Layon, Virajita Singh:
"Re-connection and Re-creation: a Map of Spiritual Sites" - a map of
places and sites for personal renewal, spiritual transformation and
respite from the world of consumption

* Kali Nikitas, Richard Shelton, David Wulfman, Diane Mullin:
"The Moveable Feast" - a map of weekly gatherings that travel from
restaurant to restaurant throughout the Twin Cities, so people can
meet to eat, talk and build community

* Robert Adams, Dawn Gilpin, Chad Kloepfer:
"Ask The Dust" - the history and everyday activities associated with
eating, harvesting and exchanging grain - from grain elevators and
flour mills to fortune cookie factories

* Wendy Fernstrum, Chris Faust, Mike Tincher:
"The Twin Cities Community in Gardens" - the culture and agriculture
cultivated in diverse neighborhoods; gardens as places for meeting
and (eventually) eating.

* Malini Srivastava, Zoe Adler-Resnik, Meena Natarajan, Pramila Vasudevan:
"This, That, Here, There" - a map of ethnic community festivals,
exploring these cultural events and reinvigorating the city by
revealing the richness of its diverse populations

* Rachel Hutton, Rachel Thompson, Jonathon Zorn, Alissa Clark, Nick
Schneider: "citySPEAK - an audio map of the Twin Cities" - charting
citywide decibel levels, and collecting sonicStories - residents'
favorite sounds of the cities - for a curated tour

* Scott Paterson, Marina Zurkow, Julian Bleeker:
"Write Your Own City" - a map that charts the activities, journeys
and favorite spaces of users of "PDPal"- an interactive art project
for the web and PDA (commissioned separately by the Walker Art
Center, and going live in June)

* Becky Yust, Lindsay Shen, James Boyd-Brent, Carol Waldron:
"The Smell Map: or Nosing your way through the Twin Cities" -
olfactory experiences emanating from the intersections of people,
enterprise and physical environments

Congratulations to the winning teams, thanks to our jury for their
dedicated work in selecting these projects from a very interesting
pool of entries, and thanks to all teams who submitted for the RFP.

FW: WORLD OF AWE RECEIVES THE LEWIS CARROLL ARGOS PRIZE

WORLD OF AWE RECEIVES THE LEWIS CARROLL ARGOS PRIZE

World of Awe receives the Lewis Carroll Argos prize at the 19th
Rencontres Internationales de L'audiovisuel ScientifiqueN-a
rendezvous for scientists and media, presented by the Centre
National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) in France. The theme
of the conference and festival was language.

The Argos Prize is organized by the International Scientific
Audiovisual Conference N Image and Science, and the UNESCO's
International Film, Television and Audiovisual Communication
Council.

The Lewis Carroll Argos Prize is awarded to a web site for its
originality, the unpredictability of the information and
encounters which it offers, and it's concern for inaugurating
trans-continental dialogue and create elective affinities on the
web.

SIGNING UP FOR LANGUAGE
Boris Razon, Lemonde.fr

[E]
World of Awe treats the medium like a language. This is turned
into a sum of perceptible experiences, which cannot be formulated
using words, images or sounds alone, only by combining them in a
new architecture. It uses signs insofar as it tells us that
learning means considering a matter, being or object as though it
emitted signs to be deciphered and interpenetrated. "All
apprentices are 'Egyptologists' of something," writes Gilles
Deleuze in "Proust et les Signes," and World of Awe turns us all
into anonymous Champollions. And can there be anything more
satisfying than being an apprentice on the web today?

JOURNAL OF A FICTIONAL TRAVELLER

You do not need any white rabbits or rabbit holes to enter World
of Awe. Nor do you need to drink a magic portion to engage in the
dreamlike world of this multifaceted site. Small capsules filled
with colored granules are the keys that open the doors in the
space recording the traveller's journey. Like Lewis Carroll's
story, peopled with strange creatures, the site is a place to
explore the imagination, where the logical structures of reason
and common sense are willingly subverted by the site's creator
Yael Kanarek. The digital travel log is this adventurer seeking a
lost treasure in Silicon canon is the pretext for exploring
different avenues of digital creation and an opportunity for
different forms of collaboration. Around the tale itself, the
author as woven links, both online and in the art galleries, to
provide a multimedia backdrop of music, interactive writing and
3D pictures. This is an initiatory quest both for the fictional
character and his creator, a puppeteer pulling the strings of a
creature made from pixels and electrons. This interdisciplinary
project, launched in 1995, is a "long-haul" journey, which above
and beyond its aesthetic qualities, constitutes a discussion
about the continuing relationship between storytelling, memory,
travel and technology. What with e-love letters, a graveyard of
old computer components and the voice of the soprano singing the
digital ode to the absent lover, this is a cocktail lacking in
neither ingenuity nor humor, within which feelings intertwine in
complete harmony.
