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.

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.
