The work of Tony & Bonnie DeVarco
Bonnie's work with the Buckminster Fuller Collection spans decades. During her 6 years at at the Buckminster Fuller Institute (1989-95), she served as chief archivist for the Buckminster Fuller Archives serving many institutions, museums and scholars. Since the archives was acquired by Stanford University in 1999 she has worked with Stanford's archivists, curators and conservators and has volunteered regularly at Stanford Special Collections as a content expert for research & conservation projects. She has continued her work with the Fuller Collection at Stanford as an independent researcher on numerous book and museum projects.
After her 6 years at BFI, Bonnie continued to work with the Buckminster Fuller Institute as advisor, curator and writer. She is also one of the founders of and advisors to the Buckminster Fuller Challenge Prize which is celebrating its its 10th year.
Drawing from across cultures and across scholarly disciplines, Places & Spaces: Mapping Science demonstrates the power of maps to address vital questions about the contours and content of human knowledge. I am part of the interdisciplinary and international advisory board. We choose each one of the works in the Places & Spaces: Mapping Science exhibit as an outstanding example of how visualization can bring patterns in scientific data into focus. The exhibit is curated by the Cyberinfrastructure for Network Science Center at Indiana University. The exhibit has been on display at over 382 venues in 28 countries on 6 continents. It showcases the work of 248 mapmakers that hail from 17 different countries. https://scimaps.org/
