			Contextures is a research in developing counter-mapping and counter-planning through testing and visualizing the thresholds of online and offline surfaces and interfaces. In the most simple example. It is about getting from A to B, based on personal stories. In this matter, I am using multiple outcomes as form experimentations to find and or combine i.e. annotations(recording/written), drawings, Unity3D, (web) interfaces, edited physical maps etc. in combination with my annotations and putting the bizarre situations that me and my close family need to go through, combating different instances and red tape in the smoothening city of Rotterdam.

			To exemplify my project, one of my works in progress revolves around how to visualize a waiting space. Having in mind the actual waiting time, space and 'space' as in the state of mind that occurs when becoming dependent of an instance. A visual mix of where Kafka meets Escher. Another experimentation I'm (counter)planning, puts the procedures of applying for something at the Gemeente in the mould of online planners/maps. Trying to figure out blackbox-code behind the i.e. Google Maps, 9292ov and trying to put the procedural steps of getting something done in the text areas of a planned route. At the same time looking at what is used to localize problems or data in Rotterdam with https://www.3drotterdam.nl/ https://www.buitenbeter.nl/ https://meldr.rotterdam.nl/. Experimentation with physical maps and software like Leaflet.js in combination of the previously mentioned experiments will then bloom into the all encompassing counter-planner that will narrate the stories time critiquing Rotterdam's Make It Happen.

 Another example: My brother wants to visit my mother.

So that means, to claim the parking spot in front of the house and also changing the brick/tile from the pavement to the street into this ramp-like tile.
