The map is a device of multiple powers. What happens when this device is purposely redirected by artists? You Are Here is a symposium featuring leading contemporary artists and researchers exploring the interplay between art and geography, activism and cultural studies. Can investigations of mapping, tracking and tactical media yield new forms of tourism, overwrite official boundaries with local ecologies, expose governmental secrets, and generate new ways of experiencing and understanding our physical environment?
