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.
