Concept: The Global Village Square (GVS) is a public service (free of charge) meant
to establish permanent links by videoconferencing between Toronto
and other cities of the world. It will allow people to meet across
land and sea, but as if they were in a common ground.
Project. The plan is to build a Rotunda in Dundas Square at the South-East
corner of Yonge and Dundas, across the street from the North end
of the Eaton Centre.
At
the centre of the Rotunda, a technical equipment
housing area (red) supporting eight large Digital Light Processing
(DLP) screens (green) facing eight standing areas (yellow) for people
looking at the screen to meet their counterparts across the ocean.
Each standing area is positioned at the edge of a soundproof zone
where people can talk and hear comfortably without being too much
disturbed by the seven other zones (transparent in North East position).
Each
screen displays the designated GVS spot of a different city in
various parts of the world. People looking into Toronto
from other cities will see different angles of the open-air space
surrounding Dundas Square. The connections will depend on time
zones and agreements between Toronto and the other cities. There
are already four candidates for connections. A two-way trial connection
will first be set up between the Deconism Gallery, 330 Dundas
Street, in Toronto and the Galleria Umberto in Naples. The first
GVS rotunda will be built in Toronto, and the first permanent
connection will be with Milan to celebrate the twinning of the
two cities in the summer of 2003. Ultimately, the eight spots
should be filled in turn by Naples, Milan, Siena, Paris, Warsaw,
Sao Paolo and Seoul, and it is hoped eventually also to serve
as an element of Canada’s offering to the World Exhibit of Nagoya
in 2005. The Toronto GVS will only be the first of these installations
and it is expected to inspire other cities to develop their own
nodal centres and permanent connections.
The
GVS is dedicated to the memory of Marshall
McLuhan and Guglielmo Marconi.
The structure would be placed at the South-West
corner of Dundas Square across the Eaton Centre (the canopy runs
on a bias from the North-West to North-East corner). It should
have a 20-25 meter diameter and the external circular wall should
either be transparent or have eight doors opening up widely to
the scene outside the structure so that people across the planet
could see the city and the activity at each point.

The suggestion
It
is born from a group of persons who in the course of
their life, in the development of their jobs, in the relations they
feel the consequences of the mass emigration of their population
of appartenance every day, believe in their land, in its concrete
possibilities of development.
They
work and they live in Caccuri,
in San Giovanni in
Fiore, Sila, Calabria, ITALY.
emigrati.it is our proposal of contact and exchange
around fields of common interests between Calabrians and Italians
who live in a foreign country and those, like us, live in fatherland.

To
fall on their work in foreign country in order to send
maintenance to their own families is a destiny which implied hundreds
of southern emigrants, but San Giovanni in Fiore paid a tribute
far too heavy, with a long
and painful list of victims. (Monongah, Marcinelle, Mattmark).
