Abstract

_knowscape is a digital data territory and an experimental project: an electronic space made of links, connections, relations, knowledge. Initially _knowscape has been conceived as an alternative multi-user browser using data *tracking* and *profiling* techniques to question, to reverse them, so to finally produce open data territories, shared browsing experiences and *open users' profiles*._knowscape evolved and has become since 2003 a mobile downloadable space, a variable space with no fixed or frozen size as well as no definite location: _knowscape mobile, a mobile information architecture that has always both a temporary location in the physical space and a world wide digital one over the Internet. Based on low esthetics and close to machines visual output, _knowscape mobile builds electronic spaces with information-based "voxels" [ 3D pixels ]. Each user or agent creates its own data architecture, made of contiguous voxels, the addition of these spaces creates a shared knowledge 3D territory that can be experienced by any other connected user._knowscape mobile relation to physical space is also simple and direct: boolean. In fact, it is the first architectural space that mixes data space with physical one through the use of boolean algebraic operations. In each installation, electronic devices open windows on this re-localized data territory, which allow visitors to interact either from the physical space or from the internet._knowscape mobile is thus an architectural space temporarily associating territory of data and physical space, linking architecture, knowledge and browsing._knowscape mobile :::: fabric | ch. http://knowscape.fabric.ch/mobile/.
