Affective Atlas .01 (Halls Gap)
Miles, Adrian. "Halls Gap." Affective Atlas 01 Symposium. Melbourne, October 24, 2007.
These are the slides (as pdf) of the report I gave at the Affective Atlas 01 Symposium at RMIT in October 2007. The affective atlas is a large research project to investigate and prototype alternative geoknowledge tools, and this report is on a field trip with honours students where we collected media samples to make a prototype atlas using a GoogleMap.
This project investigated the viability of using available and 'to hand' technologies and practices to sketch a prototype affective atlas. The aim of was to identify, for a particular community of users, what the affordances of any atlas might need to be, based on the experience of prototyping Affective Atlas .01. The project identified numerous gaps between technical and cartographic standards and requirements versus a more vernacular mapping practice, as well as the limitations imposed by the current assumptions about mapping that existing networked services offer. From this prototype a series of developmental recommendations for development have been developed which will be presented.
