The map is a device of multiple powers. What happens when this device is purposely redirected by artists? Currently there is tremendous momentum amongst the fields of art, activism, geography and cultural studies. For example, associating the fields of cartography and art can lead to new forms of tourism, overwrite official boundaries with local ecologies, expose governmental secrets and generate new ways of experiencing and understanding our physical environment.

You Are Here is a two-day conference featuring contemporary artists and researchers working with mapping, tracking and tactical media. Performances and lectures will be presented by Center for Land Use Interpretation, Matt McCormick, Institute for Applied Autonomy and Nato Thompson.
