Etymology The term be-diversity was used for the first time by contemporary artist Stefano Cagol in the occasion of Critical ways of Seeing [1]symposium at Goldsmiths University of London in May, 2014. Cagol coined this neologism starting from the term biodiversity.

Definition Be-diversity is the diversity of being. It represents a claim of peculiarity and distinction of individual being and ways of being. The contemporary era has offered unexpected chances to develop the individuality within a global web community increasingly shared, wide, gullible, influenced and tracked[1], while be-diversity safeguards differences and interaction between different.

Symposium Critical Ways of Seeing. Visualizing Knowledge and the Digital: Tool, Politics, or Art? was a two day symposium and master class happened on May 21-22, 2014 at Goldsmiths University of London. Participants are: Philippe Rekacewicz, Giulio Frigieri, Alfredo Cramerotti, Mushon Zer-Aviv, Stefano

Cagol, Galia Offri, Davina Jackson, Sean Cubitt Lorenzo Pezzani, Alex Gekker. Hosts: Global Media & Transnational Communications Program and Radical Media Forum of the Media & Communications Department, Goldsmiths. Convener: Prof. Marianne Franklin, with Elinor Carmi and Paola Crespi.

Platform Be-diversity is an open term because it can contain a wide range of meanings, it can be applied to a wide range of themes and topics. Stating from this, Stefano Cagol decided to involve the public in a platform connected with the term, but reflecting from a wide point of view. He asked to contemporary art colleagues to respond to 3 questions he took from the web: they are three FAQ asked by global mass to Google. The questions are: 1) how do environmental changes affect populations?, 2) what does threaten bio (and be-) diversity?, 3) why to be normal? A selection of the answers given before and after the symposium have been collected on a map [2].

Flag/Banner The birth of the neologism has been marked by a documented event occurred by Goldsmiths University in London on May 21, 2014: a flag/banner with the term be-diversity in capital letters has been revealed on the NAB New Art Building of Media & Communications Department of Goldsmiths.
