The European Data agency describes Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) as “the practice of collecting and analyzing information gathered from open sources to produce actionable intelligence.”1 Raw material for OSINT is widely available since the proliferation of the internet and the accessibility to devices like computers, smartphones, cameras, drones and any other mediamechanisms. Thus creating opensource intelligence is a process of qualifying, sorting and contextualizing these vast amounts of data into coherent perspectives that enrich our view on reality.
As artists and architects, we are trained to channel images and representations to produce interpretations of reality. Through the workshop and symposium on Cultures of Spatial Investigations we want to explore how OSINT strategies can extend our methods and learn from methods that have already adopted these strategies.
