Metamaps.cc – concept mapping as evolutionary strategy
Metamapping is the process of being able to take the things that exist in our heads and make sense of them; model behavior, strategize on best practices, approaches, processes and workflows. We share these as frameworks for others to use, adapt and modify for their specific use.
Through the process of collaborative network weaving, concept mapping, dialogue mapping & strategic decision making, metamapping is useful for conflict identification, identifying beneficial cooperation, conflict resolution & amplifying intentions in all types of networks.
Metamapping gives us the ability to “zoom out” to see a more complex representation of subjects and issues than we’re able to see when limited by perspective.

I am a psychoterrorist…
…or that’s what they call me.
I remember an early example of AUREC – aura recognition (formerly referred to as augmented reality). it was called Add-Art – a firefox plugin (remember that?) that blocked all the adds on websites and replaced them with curated art, it changed every two weeks. i remember not seeing ads for years – the art worked is magic in its immersive native environment – it probably affected me more subconsciously than consciously. we saw in it possibility of freedom and control over our own experience of C(_)yberspace, unmediated by a purely economic interest.
the big brands gave up on billboards and benevolently handed dominion over Default to the old school street artists and the smaller brands, while passing out contacts locked to branded layers to the people that couldn’t afford the technology, with the money they saved on printing and renting billboard space. Why pay rent on a billboard when you could just as easily create a layer of reality, offer some value and watch the population grow, right?

NTB & #Junto development
Notthisbody has been active member of the development of #Junto – a radical open telepresence prototype spearheaded by @venessameimis (http://emergentbydesign.com) , coded by @aquarious, with the collaboration & participationof many others.
Notthisbody’s involvement is mentioned in the following posts regarding #Junto:

http://emergentbydesign.com/2010/04/17/junto-is-born/
http://emahlee.wordpress.com/2010/04/18/me-we-and-junto/
One of the most interesting facets of this experience is that the prototyping and development is happening on the platform we are developing – a reiterative, immediated process from the start.
Junto Alpha is open for anyone’s participation already – join in the discussion at http://dave.parsons.edu/junto.

NotThisBody & ThisIsMeta share…ShiftShapers: an immediated autodocumentary
I heard a quote from somewhere, forget where… “The baby boomer generation will be known more for what they do in their 60s than what they did in the 60s.”
Zubin, the visionary behind The Walk, brings together a group of innovators to discuss creating transformative experiences through cutting edge technologies.
Shiftshaping implies:
(1) Sharing our individual experience, motivations, wisdom & vision
(2) Consolidating individual wisdoms towards collective actions
(3) Minds open to the evolution of ideas/approaches/methods
(4) A willingness to share resources
(5) A strong commitment to collaboration
