The source code for this little Django application is also available.

Ourselves being actors in public space, we’ve chosen our own field of interventionists as a research subject.
In a collaborative research we try to find out how our collaborative efforts might emerge into heterotopias.

In reference to our research program, defined as this
,
we’re collecting data about the networked structures of public space invaders.

Those we call groups that use techniques of architectural or urban planning to intervene into public space,
which also relates to the context of urban interventions.

Now as we come by asking wheather we already see the emergence of structures practically called Heterotopia
– might there even be a Heteropolis thinkable?
