“The Hyphenated Database project aims to design an infrastructure to ensure access to the three databases that identify migrants reported dead at Europe’s borders. The aim of the project is to create a GIS optimised for human dignity. Its ambition is that the people directly affected by the data in these lists should be able to access this information and influence decision-making in favour of one technology or another for building the infrastructure.”
“A digital atlas project within the transdisciplinary research project Topological Atlas. It is an attempt to map, analyse and reconsider the narratives surrounding the construction of borders between Pakistan and Europe and vice versa. The project uses topology as a useful conceptual framework to develop a methodology for producing maps based on interviews conducted in the migration space. This research project raises fundamental questions about the role of cartography.“

“We are a Brussels-based cooperative of cartographic practices. Our professions weave together software writing, design and territorial research to explore other modes of urban, social and political interaction.
Each representation of the territory is produced from a specific point of view and is embedded within a particular production and reception context. We commit to bring to light that no description of the territory is neutral and to bring to life the underlying intentions within the projects with which we are associated.”
