We mobilise people and resources to create, curate, make sense of and use knowledge to inform policymaking across Europe.
The Joint Research Centre possesses beautiful posters on various subjects treated in the past, e.g. on energy, eurocodes, etc., plus some scientific posters and, last but not least, the collection of posters made for its lunch time lectures. Putting them together gives an impression of the variety of work performed at the JRC.
Putting them in the form of a maze, then, would be a beautiful symbol of the difficulty of acquiring and disseminating knowledge. And maybe, this would slow down the people passing through the maze and push them to read at least the title. Or maybe something more?
The maze reflects the general difficulty of extracting knowledge from all the information glut wherein we live. It also reflects the fact that information is not open enough – certainly not open as it should, in an ideal world.
Installation conceptualised by Frank Raes, and designed by Nadia Spirito.
