Map of The World's Fair

Category: Knoxville '82: Where Miscellany Thrive
Posted on: June 13, 2006 2:08 PM, by Benjamin Cohen

What we have here is success, to communicate. Dave and I want to map out the site, and use a map to do it, and so a map it is. It's not just a metaphor, people. It's also an image. It's not just an image, it's also a guide. We're trying to get our stuff together, so this will help us wend our way through the place.

The proposed architecture for the place will go basically in this manner:

  1. NatureLand: What They Used to Call the Environment
  2. FDA%20Nature%20World%20smaller.jpg


  3. The Art/Science (Non?)Divide Building: Our Residents Discuss the Matter
  4. The Book Building

  5. The Film Building

    • a. Video links (archive.org samples, for example; Youtube.com; others...)
      b. Movie discussion
      i. Contemporary
      ii. Futuristic filmography
      iii. Science in Film in General

  6. The Website Building

  7. Ethics Palace: Where ethical questions go to live or die
  8. Knoxville '82: Where Miscellany Thrive

Of course, it's all subject to revision and updating, but you knew that, it's a blog (June 12,2006).

Of course, we'll need to let folks know where the bathroom is... I'm sure that's a category where a lot of our stuff should probably go in the end.
