PAPERS

Allison Sant, Redefining the Basemap

Current collaborative mapping projects using locative media  
technologies have often overlooked the conventions of the basemap as  
a site for reinvention. Although these projects imagine alternative  
organizations of urban space through the way it is digitally mapped,  
they remain bounded by datasets that reinforce a Cartesian and static  
notion of urban space. This paper questions the methodology of the  
basemap, as it is utilized in these projects, and proposes  
alternative tactics for mapping the city.

ARTIST PRESENTATIONS

Bioteknica: Laboratory Re:Mix – Jennifer Willet and Shawn Bailey

BIOTEKNICA is a fictitious corporation, generating designer organisms  
on demand. Irrational and grotesque, our specimens are modeled on the  
Teratoma, a cancerous multi-tissue growth. Initially virtual, our  
organisms are now under laboratory development using living tissue.  
BIOTEKNICA both embraces and critiques biotechnology, considering the  
contradictions and complexities that these technologies offer the  
future of humanity.

A Metro of Meaning: Understanding the semantic meaning of a city. –  
Matthew Hockenberry and Rob Gens

Can computers understand what a space means to us? We think so, and  
demonstrate a system that seems to feel the same way. By making use  
of common-sense knowledge what an average person takes a way from a  
place we can build visualizations that aren't dependent on what we  
put in a database - just what we can describe with language.
