[mapping] Proposal

[Lucas Bambozzi]

hi trebor, sorry for not sharing my ideas previously. I was thinking 
about pointing out the lack of spaces for sharing public experience 
in the city. every meeting in sao paulo must happen in private 
ambients. it may be in a bar, a restaurant, a shop(!), but never in a 
park, in the streets, in a corner, in a garden. no benchs for 
readings, no encounters by chance, no time to "waste" experiencing 
the city. compared to other big cities such as Buenos Aires, London, 
Paris, New York and many beach-cities like Rio de Janeiro, Barcelona, 
Salvador, Fortaleza and Recife, here it is a much bigger disaster.
that should be a starting point to check how we are affected by 
notions of power and control in private spaces [as we are confined 
into them].
just wondering... [I hope this list could be useful for this too].
