“ArtMaps: Interpreting the Spatial Footprints of Artworks”

This appears to be two things (at least). One is mapping art works to their actual location in the real world. The other is tagging photographs and text to specific locations (creating art work). Comments and conversation centers around the tagged art works. I love how the art work anchors the conversation.

“These ‘sociolocative’ practices: Social acts communicating around a physical location, have mainly focused on storytelling about authors or specified locations [8]. Art mapping extends this to include an intermediary object: an artwork, and by extension, artists, and the processes and context of the creation of the work.”
