Jérémy Garniaux

Geographer, cartographer, PhD candidate in digital archaeology

I’m a GIS engineer at Oslandia and PhD candidate in digital archaeology at LAMPEA (Aix Marseille University), focusing on the development of open source web interfaces for working with digital twins of archaeological prehistoric sites. I run Mapstodon.Space, a multilingual Mastodon instance dedicated to cartography. As a former geographer and cartographer, I still work on cartographic projects when I find time for it, and lately I’ve been interested in permacomputing, digital sobriety, and the need to rewild the internet.

At the crossroads of these practices, we imagine expeditions, shows, walks and workshops. From sensitive cartography to sound creation, from visual installation to live painting, disciplines dialogue and their contours merge in a mixed language. Monumental or tiny, our interventions play with the different scales of places and various levels of reading.” Interview with Strabic magazine (March 2014)
