MercaMadrid: A Visual Topology of the Network of Food Flows
This project brings visibility to a large amount of data related to infrastructures such as nutrition, transport, energy, social networks, businesses and �nancial markets.
MercaMadrid's main data visualization consist on an applica-tion made with Processing software. It permets an interactive comunication between the viewer and the data. The applica-tion visualize data from 2005-2010. The application link concepts as origin, tons received, and travelled kilometers of merchandise. It establish realtionships between these concepts and global economy and society from 2005 to 2011.
Project developed at Medialab-Prado on the Visualizar'11: Understanding Infrastructures, celebrated from June 14 to July 1, 2011
MercaMadrid's importance as an urban infrastructure contrasts with its slight visibility as a physical and discursive location in the city.
This project aims to envis-age MercaMadrid and to establish it as an urban focal point where topics of public interest are discussed.This project aims to shed some light on Madrid food flows through visualization. Using Merca-madrid open data, we plan to answer basic questions about our consumption habits, self-sustainability and how food is distributed on a daily basis. This project analyzes too how production logics have evolved in last years because of changes in our supply chain, based on an anthropological study now in progress. We are particu-larly interested in examin-ing how some of the controversies which, as semiotic-material constants in the city´s ecology, circulate through food flows and contribute to define the political agenda of the city.
