Experiment 02 - Information(Negotiated/Discursive).

Check out below video and stills for the main results of my experiment (in response to the questions raised in my previous post) concerning aggregated read-write representation of places as seen through social media. Main documentation of these images and experiments will be presented in the next post.

Brief Overview: - This experiment explores the virtual representation of geographic places by feeding a mash-up of Social Media API feeds into a Geographic Information System via Yahoo Pipes. Density maps are created based on the rating that each entry (point) received from its peers. This experiment led to the identification of "Viral Places";- features that are not physically/visibly centered but have achieved the same popularity in density in terms of its representation in social media environments.
