*Background and Goals*
The Places & Spaces: Mapping Science exhibit was created to inspire
cross-disciplinary discussion on how to best track and communicate human
activity and scientific progress on a global scale. It has two
components: physical exhibits enable the close inspection of high
quality reproductions of maps for display at conferences and education
centers; the online counterpart (http://scimaps.org
<http://scimaps.org/>) provides links to a selected series of maps and
their makers along with detailed explanations of how these maps work.
Places & Spaces is a 10-year effort. Each year, 10 new maps are added,
which will result in 100 maps total in 2014. Each iteration of the
exhibit attempts to learn from the best examples of visualization design
in existence. To accomplish this goal, each iteration compares and
contrasts four existing maps with six new maps of science. Themes for
the different iterations/years are as follows:
1st Iteration (2005): The Power of Maps
2nd Iteration (2006): The Power of Reference Systems
3rd Iteration (2007): The Power of Forecasts
4th Iteration (2008): Science Maps for Economic Decision Makers
5th Iteration (2009): Science Maps for Science Policy Makers
6th Iteration (2010): Science Maps for Scholars
7th Iteration (2011): Science Maps for Visual Interfaces to Digital
Libraries
8th Iteration (2012): Science Maps for Kids
9th Iteration (2013): Science Maps for Daily Science Forecasts
10th Iteration (2014): How to Lie with Maps
Places & Spaces was first shown at the Annual Meeting of the Association
of American Geographers in April 2005. Since then, the physical exhibit
has been displayed at more than 90 venues. Recent display locations
include:
* National Science Foundation, 4201 Wilson Boulevard, Arlington, VA.
(Permanent Display)
* Cameron Library, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
(Nov. 10, 2008 – Jan. 31, 2009)
* The National Science Library of the Chinese Academy of Sciences,
Wuhan, China. (Oct. 15-Nov. 15, 2008.)
* The Institute for Research Information and Quality Assurance,
Ceasar - Center of Advanced European Studies and Research,
Ludwig-Erhard-Allee 2, 53175 Bonn, Germany. (Dec. 11-19, 2008)
