While space is generally perceived as a changing field of dense interactions that occur in multiple spatiotemporal scales, we are unable to perceive or describe it in these terms. The project aims at redefining space in order to reveal the invisible system of its interactions by gathering significant information about the city and establishing for them a means of communication. Hecate is both a virtual map and an urban infrastructural system. As a virtual map it poses a methodology and a visual thinking tool that pushes the limits of our minds' cognitive capacities to better perceive and visualize space's intricate complexity. As an infrastructural system, it is an interactive city scape that functions as the city's nervous system. It is visualized as a network of richly interconnected nodes of varying intensities, each representing information flows between the system and the city. Hecate is itself a new map of the territory, in constant flux.
