Show and tell with Sanjay Bhangar. Saturday, 24th January, 7 pm to 9 pm, at CAMP.
Sanjay, a co-initiator of CAMP in 2007, has spent the last decade working on open source geospatial software projects. These maps and related infrastructure projects provide a foundation for digital "public goods" at various scales, that are non-exclusive and non-rivalrous . They offer us ways of thinking about the evolution of software and digital infrastructure, away from venture-capitalist funded extractive software that has a clear tendency towards enshittification.
As part of his work, he has developed geospatial and mapping infrastructure used by organizations such as the International Federation of the Red Cross, Microsoft, NASA, the World Resources Institute, as well as open data projects like Open Historical Map and Open Street Map. He returns to CAMP to talk about this work, the influence CAMP has had on how he thinks of a software practice and building sustainable projects, and make some provocations around art, software, maps, vibe coding in 2026, and the bazillion bits of data about our planet.
Followed by discussion with Anjali Tewari (urvar, OCCRP) and Ashok Sukumaran (CAMP). RSVP required, here.
