Imagination Stations: Drawing, Drifting, Mapping

This collaboration with Ted Heibert explores new ways to imagine and present complex compilations of multi-modal data. The goal is to establish an interdisciplinary discourse at points of convergence between geographic visualization and mapping, art, and the digital humanities. We look at the ways that a dialogic approach to data generation and mapping might provide new possible ways to imagine geovisual conceptualization – visualization that preserves, represents, and generates a strongly nuanced, contextual, and deeply contingent representation of urban space and people. We focus particularly on developing a hybrid framework for integrating a range of digital forms of data, analysis, and representation often considered incompatible.
