Visualization of conferences, symposia, meetings and brainstorm-sessions
Studio Martijn Kessler visualizes conferences, symposia, meetings and brainstorm-sessions. Using the information that is being shared at the conference Studio Martijn Kessler creates a revealing map in the background. This map directly mirrors the discussion and has an exceptional value both practical and artistic. In the sessions the studio has a facilitating role. The visualizations offer a good impression of the discussion and possess the exceptional quality to relate all the discussed items.
They also serve as a perfect medium to record, interpret and arrange information. In a special instant-art form the data is transformed in a creative and organic manner: while a speaker adresses the audience, his words are arranged in the company landscape. This sketch is made by a number of geoficticians/artists on a large map ”100X48 inches”. A screen can be placed at the side of the room where the audience sees the sketch growing from a distance. Studio Martijn Kessler will require a prompter who can translate the possible jargon.
Tuesday May 11th 2010 at Geofort in Herwijnen a symposium took place where the Ministery of Agriculture, together with their “stakeholders” exchanged information about the future of Geo-Information(GPS-systems etc.) While the speakers and discussions brought about the exchange of information, Studio Martijn Kessler visualized the matters discussed.
The visualizations are a perfect stepping stone for a geofiction-workshop, wherein the participants of the meeting chart the relevant processes themselves. This way the visualizations also serve to familiarize the participants with geofiction, provide with insight in the company processes and give them the means to get started with the workshop themselves. Workshop and visualization can also be used seperalety as an instrument for teambuilding and analysis.

After the meeting or brainstormsession the map can be completed and arranged by those involved. The map that is created can be refined into a extraordinary piece of art which can serve as an important communication-device for orientation and navigation, both internally and externally.
Visualization of a brainstorm-session on personal leadership of the council Almere. The sketch which was made then and there was later turned into the map above. It is used for internal communication en serves as a navigational instrument.
