I visited the "Mapping Knowledge. Understanding the World through Data" exhibition in Mons, Belgium, which is European capital of culture in 2015. An exhibition for all persons interested in data visualisation/infographics, and all those interested by the "knowledge" topic. The biggest surprise for me was to discover and to learn more about the Mundaneum. It is the crazy project of two Belgian, Paul Otlet and Henri La Fontaine, who tried in the late nineteenth century to gather and classified the world’s knowledge available on...paper at that time. They created an internet on paper! Their final goal was to design the ideal society, with the help of Le Corbusier. Mundaneum is not only a big crazy project but it is also the place and the concept that hosts the exhibition (The message is the medium. Isn't?)
The exhibition starts with a large timeline of "data visualisations" (maps, drawings, etc) which begins in 366AC.
An interesting part of the exhibition is on the tree (symbol of knowledge) and its use in visualisations to represent the organisation of knowledge. Another part offers orginal works by Paul Otlet done for the Mundaneum project, wonderful. A part is dedicated to "invisible networks and cities" which proposes visualisations of the hidden flow of data around us. To finish, a section on "Data is art" where artists use data to create pieces of art.

The ‘Ecosystem-based Adaptation South’ project seeks to help the Seychelles, Nepal and Mauritania to adapt to climate change, in part by restoring natural habitats across all types of ecosystems. In the Seychelles, on-the-ground ecological restoration will rehabilitate 29 hectares of mangrove and wetland forests, thus providing natural flood barriers.

“THE INQUIRY, KNOWLEDGE, AND BELIEF OF TRUTH IS THE SOVEREIGN GOOD OF HUMAN NATURE.”
—Bacon, Essays, Of Truth
Above each statue the pendentive of the dome is occupied by a group in plaster, sculpted by Philip Martiny (1858-1927), consisting of two winged figures, modeled as if half flying, half supported on the curve of the arches, and holding between them a large tablet carrying an inscription in gilt letters. Above the tablet is a pair of crossed palm branches (meaning peace), and below are the lamp and open books symbolic of learning, these last being surrounded by an oak wreath, typifying strength—the whole group thus signifying the power and beneficence of wisdom.
The inscriptions were selected by Charles W. Elliott, president of Harvard University, who several years before had furnished the memorable sentences carved upon the Water Gate at the World Columbian Exposition of 1893 in Chicago. Each is appropriate to the subject of the statue below it.
