IOT IS A NETWORK OF PHYSICAL OBJECTS EMBEDDED WITH ELECTRONICS, SOFTWARE, SENSORS, AND NETWORK CONNECTIVITY THAT ENABLES THESE OBJECTS TO COLLECT AND EXCHANGE INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET. THE MOST PREVALENT EXAMPLE OF IOT TODAY IS YOUR MOBILE PHONE. THE MOBILE PHONE IS AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH SOFTWARE THAT TRACKS YOUR LOCATION VIA GPS AND YOUR PREFERENCES BASED ON YOUR INTERACTIONS ON THE INTERNET. THE COLLECTING AND EXCHANGING OF INFORMATION IN TODAY'S CENTRALIZED INTERNET INFRASTRUCTURE IS CONTROLLED BY A FEW POWERFUL POLITICAL AND CORPORATE INSTITUTIONS WHO HAVE INFLUENCE AND OWNERSHIP OVER THE PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE OF THE INTERNET (FIBER. OPTIC CABLES, SUBMARINE CABLE STATION, DATA CENTERS, AND ETC.) AND OVER HOW ONE NAVIGATES IT. THIS THESIS IS BUILDING UPON THE HACKTIVIST MENTALITY OF INFORMATION ACCESSIBILITY AS EXPLORED IN ABSTRACT HACKTIVISM: THE MAKING OF A HACKER CULTURE BY OTTO VON BUSCH & KARL PALMAS. HACKTIVISM IS FUNDAMENTALLY GROUNDED ON THE BELIEF THAT INFORMATION SHOULD BE FREE AND ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE.THUS, THIS THESIS LOOKS CLOSELY AT THE POLITICALLY CONTESTED AND CENSORED ENVIRONMENT OF VIETNAM THROUGH THE INTRODUCTION OF A HACKERSPACE, A HUB, FOR TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION, IN HANOI AS A SEED TO TRANSFORMING THE PHYSICAL AND VIRTUAL LANDSCAPE OF VIETNAM. THROUGH THE METHOD OF DRAWING, THIS THESIS EXPLORES THE GLOBAL,NATIONAL AND LOCAL SCALE OF THE PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE OF THE INTERNET. IT USES CONCEPTS FROM MARTYN DADE-ROBERTSON'S WORK, THE ARCHITECTUREOF INFORMATION: ARCHITECTURE, INTERACTION DESIGN AND THE PATTERNING OF DIGITAL INFORMATION, AS A WAY TO DESCRIBE OUR INTERACTIONS WITH THEINTERNET AND ITS EMERGENCE INTO THE PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT. THE THESIS EXPLORES THROUGH DRAWING A WAY OF REPRESENTING AND SYNTHESIZING BOTH THE VIRTUAL AND PHYSICAL INFOSPACE WORLD. THROUGH THE INSPIRATION OF SPACE SYNTAX BY HILLIER AND HANSON, THE THESIS ATTEMPTS TO VISUALIZE AND REVEAL THROUGH DIAGRAMMING/DRAWING THE SPATIAL STRUCTURE AND CONTROL THAT CO-EXIST BOTH IN VIRTUAL AND PHYSICAL INFOSPACE. THE DRAWING UNIFIES BOTH VIRTUAL AND PHYSICAL INFOSPACE THROUGH A SINGLE COMMON LANGUAGE OF SPACE SYNTAX. THROUGH THIS UNIFIED LANGUAGE (THE DRAWING) OF SPACE SYNTAX, EVERYTHING REVEALED IS AND DECODED AS POLITICAL AS BOTH PHYSICAL AND VIRTUAL INFOSPACE ARE SEEN AND UNDERSTOOD TOGETHER AS A CONTINUUM OF INFORMATION FLOW.
