Notice Information
Notice Title
Secret Maps
Notice Description
Secret Maps will explore the relationship between mapping and secrecy in a global context between the 9th and 21st centuries. It is an exhibition about how and why, contrary to their modern appreciation as things which openly provide knowledge of the world, maps have been utilised by governments, armies, businesses, organisations, communities and individuals in the withholding of all kinds of spatial knowledge. The exhibition will explore what types of spatial information (from hidden treasure to personal data) have been subject to attempts at secrecy. It will consider whether historical control of spatial information has influenced how the world is perceived, and whether, in an age where spatial data is routinely shared and democratised, it is easier or more difficult to keep a secret today. We require an AV contractor to join the team to produce four films for the exhibition. The filmmaker/contractor will be expected to collaborate with the appointed 3D design team and AV hardware contractor to ensure seamless co-ordination. This will be by e-mail, video call, telephone call or in person meetings and managed by the British Library team.
