Mapping Their Future: Digital Communities, Indigenous Lands
🏆 Honorary Mention · Prix Ars Electronica 2005
www.borneoproject.org's “Mapping Their Future: Digital Communities, Indigenous Lands” was honoured with a Honorary Mention at the Prix Ars Electronica 2005, category Digital Communities.
Few places on the planet can lay claim to a greater digital divide than Malaysian Borneo, where nomadic hunters and gatherers continue to subsist in dwindling rainforests less than 100 miles from the high-tech, urban power centers of Asia.
About www.borneoproject.org
The Borneo Project was created in 1990 by a handful of environmental activists in Berkeley, California, who had witnessed the success of citizen diplomacy in easing the cold war.
