I am sharing some of my previous work–more of a way to figure out how to build on it.  Our “Publish!” series is all about engaging the public to write, curate and edit, to see themselves as part of the literary landscape.

Here is “Publish: Your Journey!” In the first iteration, we were installed in a farmer’s market. We were invited by Manifest Destiny: Engaging a Changing Landscape, a group from UC Irvine. We set up typewriters for the public to type up their response to “Where will you be?” then they pinned their writing to a location in the Orange County map book.

Another installation of this project was located in Union Station in downtown Los Angeles. In this professional writers were installed in the information booth and worked one-on-one with the public to write a story of “Where did you begin?”CKuPjS3UkAAbk7f CKuPyyfUkAA32MC-2 CKuYMp1UYAAT5VY

“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.”

N Building is a commercial building near Tachikawa station. The facade is a static QR code. When viewed through an iPhone app, characters appear, store information and live Tweets from people inside the building. From the designers: “Our proposed vision of the future is one where the facade of the building disappears, showing those inside who want to be seen.”
