Silvia Giachello, researcher at the Department of Literary and Philological Studies at the University of Turin, has created interactive documentation tracing the topics and people that brought to life Share Festival 2009. The concept behind the initiative is the map.

A map is an interpretation of the territory it represents. Documenting an event means designing and creating a map of a complex territory. The presentation and the lauch of M.A.P. (Multimedia and Audiences Profiling) – the web-based conceptual map generator for the audio-visual documentation of events and the study of multimedia issues – will be an occasion to reflect, starting with the material produced on the Piemonte Share Festival 2009, on how documentation is about interpreting and restoring flows of consciousness, and how digital media and the Internet can contribute to and shape the creation of documentation.
