+! Mapping data commons extinction and blossoming
+
+Offray Luna  (offray.luna@javeriana.edu.co)
+
+""Abstract:""
+The current living generation of humans will be the last one to see some natural and data landscapes, due to climate change and API enclosures, respectively. 
+Considering such accelerated landscape changes, we are developing low computational and cognitive resource  mapping tools and techniques 
+to chart the decline of Twitter and the emergence of new open alternatives. 
+To do this, we combine what we call digital "pocket infrastructures", interstitial programming and data storytelling.
+This talk will give an overview of the project, its history and early prototypes.

+currently he works as a full time professor in the Javeriana University in Colombia and he does consultancy in his entreprise mutabiT.
+He is the creator of the civic tech and data storytelling and visualization tool Grafoscopio and a bootstrapper/facilitator of its community.

+
+""Abstract:""
+This talk will present how data storytelling is used in a local hackerspace, since 2015, and with undergrad and post-grad
+in the Javeriana University, since 2022, to introduce non developers to computational thinking via several prototypes and experiences including: 
+- Interactive documentation.
+- Performative grassroots (re)publishing of books and booklets
+- (Inter)personal wikis and web sites for learning experiences and research projects.
+- "Data portraits" of presidential candidates as civic tech to innovate in polical participation.
