“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.”

Patterned by Nature is a computational artwork by Sosolimited with North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences. It is set in the newly built Nature Research Center in Raleigh, North Carolina.

This huge glass ribbon winds through the museum hall. With thousand tiles of LCD glass, it works as a screen, and animations could be shown by simply change the transparency of each tile of glass. Animations show different type of natural pattern, from clouds to bird chirp to rain drops to leaves shadowing. Accompanied with sound, this artwork create a virtual but still sufficient feeling of nature.
