Slide 9 text

research topics

Slide 10

Slide 10 text

we translate each assignment into our specific topic area

Slide 11

Slide 11 text

we will keep the same topic

Slide 12

Slide 12 text

The title of each topic will be in the form, ! “The lie of…”

Slide 13

Slide 13 text

The lie of…

Slide 14

Slide 14 text

The lie of accessibility e.g. how do flat-maps and navigational maps hide the fact that the world is 3D? how does this affect people with mobility issues?

Slide 15

Slide 15 text

The lie of environment how is environment portrayed in maps? what thematic methods are used by the NPS and Google? What is wild versus a garden and how have maps treated them?

Slide 16

Slide 16 text

The lie of census How do numbers portray our population? what does it miss from reality? how can we bridge this gap better?

Slide 17

Slide 17 text

The lie of color what tricks can you play with color on a map? What happens to people’s perception of data you are mapping? can you flip their beliefs only by color?

Slide 18

Slide 18 text

The lie of weather maps often don’t change based on the weather. can we explore what would happen if they did? how does our perception of the world change based on the rain?

Slide 19

Slide 19 text

The lie of time nothing is static. what has changed and how do we show it? what happens when we can draw maps out over time? what happens to things erased by time?

Slide 20

Slide 20 text

The lie of location where am it? what is the best way to get home? where is my friend? where is a restaurant? what lies can and will be told based on your location?

Slide 21

Slide 21 text

The lie of language it is easy to think your world exists in your language. what happens to maps when languages change? how can you make maps that are immune to the language of the viewer?

Slide 22

Slide 22 text

The lie of transportation… politics… borders… etc…

Slide 23

Slide 23 text

Assignments

Slide 24

Slide 24 text

Slide 25

Slide 25 text

Every map will probably ! 1. tell a lie 2. tell a story

Slide 26

Slide 26 text

A link, video, or image gallery ! At least one paragraph describing your map and what it tells us **lies & stories** For every map you should submit

Slide 27

Slide 27 text

by the end of the semester, each of you should have a gallery of epic maps to share

Slide 28

Slide 28 text

and a ton of insights into how to start any map you imagine

Slide 29

Slide 29 text

How would you like to curate the gallery? ! individual pages, or course page

Slide 30

Slide 30 text

be comfortable ! mixing multimedia into your maps, hiding your map or making it non-visual, getting out in the streets and interview people, or to draw intersections, or to measure steps and collect new data
