The response to the RSD12 Relating Systems Thinking and Design Symposium (2023) call for contributions exceeded the organisers’ capacity to program an exhibition during the symposium, so contributors have organised this series of Monday mapping studios. Each week is an opportunity to learn about different aspects of systemic design mapping, researchers’ approaches, and how they use mapping in their work.
FOCUS
These exhibits are a departure from pictorial maps. Two site-specific installations mapped systems so they could be experienced from multiple points of view. The third, an experiment in art-science collaboration, resulted in richly rendered systemic representations of scientific findings. Also presented is the inventory of graphical devices and an opportunity to consider notations in multi-media mapping.

HOST & FORMAT
Thomas Maiorana | tmaiorana@ucdavis.edu
RSD studios have a casual format, starting with a talk by each researcher and moving to a conversation with a guest commenter and assembled guests. This is an invitation into the virtual studio of each researcher, who will share their map via screen share, slides, online whiteboard or other format.
View and download maps from the RSD12 exhibition on Miro.
