Crawling Myanmar, Circumnavigating Internet Censorship, Mapping Whois Issue Networks (the movie), Picturing Palestinian-Israeli Govcom.org is conceived as a project to map debates on the Web on important social issues. Together with Anderemedia and Sonologic, different tools have been developed to crawl, scrape, locate, and eventually map those issues. In many of the cases, the resulting maps visualize a Web state-of-affairs that is otherwise invisible to the naked Web-surfer's eye. By making things visible, we touch upon different issues and questions ranging from the location of the places of issues on the Web; positive and negative implications visualizing Internet censorship might have; representation of the digital divide from different points of view; and media monitoring of conflict-related issues. A public presentation aimed at developers, public interest groups, advocates, (media)activists, and academics.
