Semester proposal: SCALE OPEN CODE
Initial exercise: A territorial "cabinet of curiosities".
Exploratory exercise that claims to intervene in places around the globe subjected to high and disconcerting intensity logics.
Primary exercise: "A perfect and absolute white map".
9 essays/projects in a territory. 9 freely formulated explorations, without pre-determined programme, scale or site within the territorial jurisdiction of Uruguay with its 177.00km2 on land and its (recently enlarged!) 215.000km2 at sea.
The explorations originate from interests formulated by the students, thus giving rise to issues of different scales and themes, from the agenda of the globe, the country, or of a personal nature.
