“Imaginario”, the project presented by Domenico di Siena, focuses on the relations between physical and digital space, as well as between information and politics, as a collective construction revealing the desires of a specifically identified community.

Its aim is to explore and know more about the collective imagination. Based on a semantic model, the collective imagination will be visualized, using size and colour parameters to transcribe the importance and positive or negative connotation of words. A second model will establish the relations among the words. Lastly, this visualization model will be projected onto a geographic map, thus facilitating knowledge of the connections between an opinion and the sociology of a neighbourhood, established by prior studies.
