GeoSkating Maps (http://www.geoskating.com/ ) automate the creation of interactive, multimedial skate-maps by using the Global Positioning System (GPS), Mobile Phones and the Internet. While skating, GPS position data is being assembled and published to a server through a mobile phone. At the same time the skater can enrich the GPS data with road surface ratings, and by sending pictures and videos from the phone. The server will draw geographic maps showing road quality through colouring. All pictures and videos are presented as clickable dots on the GPS locations where they were taken. (Even more, skaters can also be followed in real-time over the map while skating!)

"Masons, Tricksters and Cartographers : Comparative Studies in the Sociology of Scientific and Indigenous Knowledge" (Hardcover) ... argues that all our differing ways of producing knowledge, including science, are messy, spatial and local. Every culture has its own ways of assembling local knowledge, thereby creating space through the linking of people, practices and places. The spaces we inhabit and assemblages we work with are not as homogeneous and coherent as our modernist perspectives have led us to believe-rather they are complex and heterogeneous motleys.

The one question only solution to the fork in the road is to ask one of them 'which way would the other person say leads to the cannibals'. Which ever one you ask, they'll tell you the wrong way: follow where they point to avoid being eaten.

"It is possible to say much about the Tao, just as it is possible to make a map of the world. However, no matter how detailed the map, it can never be the world it represents. In the same way, words used to describe the Tao can never be the same as the Tao itself, although they can be used to help guide people along the path. After you find the Tao, there is no need for words at all.
After you find your place in the world, there is no need for maps at all." - RW after silvanosx@cox.net

"Think of the expression of an idea as a map to its meaning." - ?

"Rethinking maps"; http://www.rgs.org/category.php?Page=ac2006 "Over the past 20 years there has been a sustained engagement in rethinking the ontological basis and epistemology of cartography. This has led to such conceptual frameworks as: maps as social constructions, post-representational cartography, non-confessional cartography, non-progressive histories of cartography, de-ontologized cartography, denaturalized cartography, critical cartography, counter-mappings and performative mapping." : http://www.rgs.org/ac2006 Cartographic 'remixability' (Manovich 2005).

Dada was an art movement that was ostrasized from the world of art as it swept through the world like war sweeping thoughout nations. Dadaism brought about everything new: new ideas, new materials, new directions, and new people. Dada had no uniform characteristics as many other movements in the arts have. Dadaist art can be interpreted by each person how they want to see or read it. Dadaism brings out feelings and emotions in each person dependent upon what he or she is going through at the time.
Art historians who are professionally trained to analyze the styles of art movements and periods have been continually baffled by the contradictions and complexities Dadaism poses towards itself. All those who attempt to analyze the Dadaist movement, to figure out it's breadth and depth all seem to come up short. The meaning and content go far beyond that which can be analyzed by a trained professional.
Dadaism is often mistaken as a myth due to the outrageous and ridiculous ideas put into the art, however it was very real. Dadaism was never expected to last forever, the Dadaists lived in the moment and for the moment, and so did the spirit of Dada. This beautiful form of art is no longer widely practised throughout the world, yet it is still greatly appreciated by many.

Dada Photomontage and net.art Sitemaps : http://faculty.washington.edu/dillon/rhethtml/dadamaps/dadamaps2b.html Even more than Cubist collage, Dada photomontage (Höch, Hausmann, Schwitters, Grosz/Heartfield) presents very suggestive images composed of signifying fragments ranging from small schematic arrangements to wildernesses of profusion. One sees several patterns (matrix, swirl, cascade) with their associated semantics. We then apply these categories and principles to website imagemaps to see what the imagemap is saying visually about the site and our experience of it. By George L. Dillon, dillon@u.washington.edu[published in PostModern Culture 10:2 (2000) ]

"Flatland" (online) : http://www.alcyone.com/max/lit/flatland/ Edwin A. Abbott's classic tale of interdimensional experience.

I am a ratio noticed by few.
A pyramid, a flower, in math and in you.
A golden mediocrity in planets and space,
Fibonicci's forty in my fifteenth place.
Though quite small, I stretch to infinity,
The ancient greeks raised me up to divinity.
Fraternities exploit me without knowing my meaning
Some people maintain I have a mystical leaning.
(The number Phi 1.618.The golden proportion) From http://www.19.5degs.com/previous.php?r=16891&c=671
