The project is an experimental hybrid of similar work by Ccred & 16 beaver (Counter Cartographies), BASEKAMP & The Institute for Advanced Architecture (Evident Use), and the Bureau of Research into Post Autonomy (Walking Tour), among others. The idea behind this series of events is to link a number of different cities in a critical dialogue around the very lose notion of "post-autonomy" and the more specific theme: how can we construct a practice in the discursive space of post-autonomy? The program includes three interlinked components: a collective counter.cartography walk through our different contexts; an alt.space meal (supper, dinner, luncheon) taking place in our different cities and linking us through the questions we pose to one another; and a concluding discussion taking the form of a web-cast linking us in real-time dialogue.
