The world is certainly changing, perhaps in ways that will dramatically impact the very nature of how we survive and thrive. The Open_Sailing project is exploring new potentials for the unknown future. A quote on their site states "We dont know what will happen, but together we can invent our future and cope".
They are building an experimental floating community, which they will sail
from London to Rotterdam. Then Open_sailing_02, from the harbour of Aljedida (Morroco) and sail through the Canary Islands. Than Open_Sailing_03 to Porto Novo, Open_Sailing_04 drift into the Atlantic ocean in the direction of northern Brazil, Belem.
Imagine an entire floating city, and the ways geography, and mapping in particular, would have to change towards either relative or dynamic models of representation, location awareness, and contextuality. I'll be keeping an eye on this project for sure.
