Izraz “mapiranje” je postal širok pojem, ki se ga uporablja za različne namene, med drugim kot ena izmed oblik umetniškega urjenja/prakse. B-mapiranje se loteva pojma mapiranja z nekoliko drugačne perspektive. Ne teži k risanju zemljevidov krajev, ki jih odločilno oblikuje gledalčevo zaznavanje in percepcija, pač pa za izhodiščno točko vzame telo in njegovo umeščenost ter način umeščanja v prostor.
B-mapiranje je umetniški projekt, ki omogoča skupinsko pogajanje o tem, kaj je na tehtnici in kaj želimo kot skupina zgraditi. Ustvarjalci igre smo jo razvijali več kot tri leta in preverjali njeno strukturo z različnimi skupinami v različnih okoliščinah. Tako smo uspeli ustvariti osnovna orodja, ki se jih da uporabljati v različnih okoliščinah. A tudi projekt kot celoto z njegovo odprto strukturo in različnimi protokoli, je orodje samo po sebi.
Projekt poskuša preseči utečene strukture dvodimenzionalnega risanja in brainstorminga tako, da prenese misli v prostor in omogoča preigravanje njihovih položajev v prostoru. Značilno za orodje kot je B-mapiranje, je, da se ustvari zemljevid, ki je močno, če ne povsem, odvisen od konteksta, vsebine in potreb. Orodje, ki se ga da razširiti, uporabiti, razviti. In ima jasno ter trdno izhodišče in se prilagaja, premika, razvija glede na posamične potrebe in kontekste. Namen je, da se omogoči lažja, hitrejša, nepredvidena povezava, komunikacija in integracija različnih deležnikov: sodelavcev, institucij, družb. Pri tem uporablja različne razlike med zemljevidom na papirju in zemljevidu kot procesu, ki se ustvarja oziroma tke iz naših prisotnostnosti. Tako je pogajanje o položajih in med položaji v zemljevidu pomembnejše od “končnega” položaja stvari. Neprestano premeščanje položajev ne zmanjša dobrobiti procesa ustvarjanja zemljevida, kvečjemu doda kako dobrobit več kot ustvarjen zemljevid na papirju.
B-mapiranje je zraslo na tem polju želja. Lahko je orodje za načrtovanje, za nahajanje skupnega imenovalca ali pa sinergij. Omogoča razumeti situacijo iz različnih vidikov in najti strukture, ki se ogibajo osredotočanja samo na osrednji vidik. Zato lahko spoji razne načine strukturiranja in doprinese k odkritju novega pristopa k situaciji, drugim spet razčisti vizijo, kakšen bi lahko bil možen pristop te strukture, vlog udeleženih in hkrati lahko preusmeri pozornost na negotovosti in kako jih prebroditi in z njimi delati.
B-mapiranje je projekt Nomad Dance Institute, ki je nastal na prvem srečanju Nomad Dance Institute konec septembra 2013 v Muzeju sodobne umetnosti Metelkova. Je sodelovanje med Urbanom Kmetom, Kai Simon Stöger in Jasmino Založnik. Od takrat so se srečevali v različnih mestih, delali z najrazličnejšimi skupinami.
B-mapiranje je vplivalo na nastanek Duck Shaped Triangle, projekt Kai Stöger, ki se je začel leta 2016, in s katerimi si deli dramaturška orodja.
B-mapiranje sta uporabila Dejan Srhoj in Nina Božič v delavnici “Innovation leaders for courageous ideas – Eskilstuna Municipality, Sweden”, 2014 in 2015.
B-mapiranje je bil prvi korak raziskave in projekta Darka Dragicevića, Martina Sonderkampa in Jasmine Založnik, ki se je izoblikoval v uprizoritveno instalacijo Approximations, 2015.

The term "mapping" has become a broad term used for a variety of purposes, including as a form of artistic training/practice. B-mapping approaches the notion of mapping from a slightly different perspective. It does not tend towards drawn maps of places, which are decisively shaped by the viewer's perception, but takes the body and its positioning and the way it is situated in space as a starting point.
B-mapping is an artistic project that allows for a collective negotiation of what is on the scales and what we want to build as a group. The creators of the game have been developing it for over 3 years, testing its structure with different groups in different contexts. In this way, we have been able to create basic tools that can be used in different contexts. But the project as a whole, with its open structure and different protocols, is also a tool in itself.
The project attempts to go beyond the established structures of two-dimensional drawing and brainstorming by bringing thoughts into space and allowing their positions in space to be played out. Typical of a tool such as B-mapping is the creation of a map that is highly, if not entirely, dependent on context, content and needs. A tool that can be extended, used, developed. It has a clear and solid starting point and can be adapted, shifted, developed according to individual needs and contexts. The idea is to make it easier, faster, more unexpected to connect, communicate and integrate different stakeholders: collaborators, institutions, societies. In doing so, it uses the different distinctions between a map on paper and a map as a process that is created or weaved out of our presences. Thus, the negotiation of and between positions in the map is more important than the "final" position of things. The constant shifting of positions does not diminish the goodness of the process of creating the map, at most it adds more goodness than the map created on paper.
B-mapping grew out of this field of aspirations. It can be a tool for planning, for finding a common denominator or synergies. It allows for the understanding of a situation from different perspectives and the finding of structures that avoid focusing only on a central aspect. It can therefore bring together different ways of structuring and contribute to the discovery of a new approach to a situation, to clarify for others again the vision of what could be a possible approach of this structure, of the roles of the actors involved, and at the same time it can refocus attention on uncertainties and how to overcome and work with them.
B-mapping is a project of the Nomad Dance Institute, which emerged from the first meeting of the Nomad Dance Institute at the end of September 2013 at the Museum of Contemporary Art Metelkova. It is a collaboration between Urban Kmet, Kai Simon Stöger and Jasmina Založnik. Since then, they have met in different cities, working with a wide variety of groups.
B-mapping influenced the creation of Duck Shaped Triangle, a project by Kai Stöger that started in 2016 and with which it shares dramaturgical tools.
B-mapping was used by Dejan Srhoj and Nina Božič in the workshop "Innovation leaders for courageous ideas – Eskilstuna Municipality, Sweden," in 2014 and 2015.
B-mapping was the first step of the research and project by Darko Dragicevic, Martin Sonderkamp and Jasmina Založnik, which turned into the performance installation Approximations, 2015.
