Development Pavillion
The Development Laboratory Network came together to mount a common exhibit on the possible uses of Network technology for rural development at the 2001 BangaloreIT.com trade fair. The Development Laboratory is a common platform created by Madhyam, Voices, Mahiti.org, and the Center for Knowledge Societies to create, test and develop new applications and services that benefit non-elite communities in both urban and rural environments across South Asia. |

E-Culture Fair
CKS participated at the e-Culture Fair organized by Virtueel Platform, a non-profit organisation which focuses on knowledge exchange, presentation and lobbying in the field of new media and culture. CKS made a multimedia presentation about the role auto-rickshaw drivers play in Bangalore's urban culture. Innovative cartography and image technology was used to record the relationship between the rickshaw drivers, their clients and the urban fabric, demonstrating various scenarios of mobile phone use, while exploring the relationship between technology and social life. |

Visualisation and Spatiality
CKS organized a full day workshop at Development By Design (DYD), an international conference on Open Collaborative Design for Sustainable Innovation at Srishti School of Design, Bangalore on the 1st & 2nd December 2002. The workshop titled 'Visualization, Spatiality, and I' sought to introduce participants to an understanding of the use and manipulation of GIS technologies. The workshop allowed participants to use handheld GPS-enabled devices to map their own context and in the process learn how their own bodies and the immediate interactional space are hypermediated through their use of the GPS. |
