Dialogue With The Knowbotic South-
strategies on a changing view of nature
A dynamic map of a data-land-scape providing a form of interaction with multilocal and multipresent information-fields. Following the example of the manneristic representations of continents as Kunst- und Wunderkammern by the Antwerp painter Jan van Kessel (1626-1679), Knowbotic Research (KR+cF) devises a model of a Computer Aided Antarctica as a public knowledge space: The structure-imposing units in this hypothetical area are knowbots. These elements incorporate data sets of current antarctic research, which symbolize direct real-time links to the reference subjects occurring in scientific research and the underlying reference nature -in this case, natural events at the South Pole-. In order to emhasize the evolutionary potential of this fiction of interacting with information-landscapes, KR+cF creates simple visual metaphors outlined on the DWTKS Digital Landscape. A spatial-interactive feature allows the user to 'immerse' himself into each knowbot. The data representations of the research subjects, data sets, models and simuations forming the -fictitious modifyable- objects of the knowbot, will only become visible within the architectural structure.
