lecture: locative media and geotagging by martijn de waal

• Phenomenological –follow a person, credit card, tracking an airplane with a geographical coordinate. Example Google my Maps.
From www to ‘ddd’ (dynamic/ database/ driven)
Use Flickr (photo database) to link photo’s to an online column, website, documentary.
Combine your own data, write your own data, and use the web as a database.
Internet application ‘ Outside in’
• Real space or representational space?
• Author (your own) of collaborative storytelling?

Example concepts;
Radio streams combined to Google Maps. You can zoom in and how more you do that the more you can hear local radio streams. If you zoom out you see the world become smaller and hear a national radio streams to world radio.
Simple but genius concept where two different city maps put together. For example New York City and Baghdad who bring up emotional and tension feelings because of the past. One map has several spots and related stories. The other who has not –your actual location- must placed on top of the that to see, when you hold the maps into the light, real imaginary new places who’re hidden will now reveal. Now you can actually go there to explore the stories or next hints to more stories and places ‘on the other side’.
