Gigamap Exhibition
The RSD6 exhibition was held October 18-30, 2017 at the AHO Gallery. The exhibit displayed gigamaps, synthesis maps, other types of systems maps, and project posters from systemic design. An activity component resulted in gigamapping in real-time, and a physical mapping experiment resembling gaming boards.
