Ok, I'm personally totally up for anything and that sounds like fun! I like the idea - it is kind of like reverse mapping and it's a good critique of digital mapping from an artistic and aesthetic perspective. Can you post it on the outdoor section of the wiki?
https://www.socialtext.net/wherecamp/wherecamp_sf_2011_friday_geo_games Incidentally this reminds me of Molly's work: http://www.mollydilworth.com/16_manhattan.html In terms of coordinating WhereCamp is that we need a few more people to step up to the plate to offer to be the person who runs that particular game session. We still have another month to figure this out of course. The specific one I'd really like to see is something like @dens Pac Manhattan idea -> http://www.pacmanhattan.com/contact.php . It was super fun (we all played it at WhereCamp PDX ). It's also hilarious to just watch - and fun to MC as well back from the control room. Another thing we should definitely do is geocaching. That's also quite a bit of fun. If anybody else has any specific game/event that they would like to try out - and can be responsible for MC'ing - please go ahead and add. Surely there must be a few folks who have their own geo-apps that they'd like to rope people into using? If you know people who've written say iphone or android geo-apps - let's get them to showcase their work - invite them. :-) a On Thu, Mar 10, 2011 at 2:00 PM, Jeffrey Warren <[email protected]> wrote: > perhaps with a theme -- at the hacker space I work from, we've been talking > about using sports field marking chalk to draw Google Maps-style icons, > lines, labels, and so forth on the real world, then balloon photograph it to > upload and stitch as overlays. > aerosol chalk comes in 12 colors > we could break into teams, and read from a stylesheet to style our > real-world map. > jeff > > > On Fri, Mar 4, 2011 at 8:11 PM, Stewart Long <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> It happened last year at Wherecamp, but we could have a grassroots mapping >> balloon mapping flight if there was enough interest. >> http://publiclaboratory.org/wiki/balloon-mapping >> Stewart Long >> [email protected] >> >> On Fri, Mar 4, 2011 at 4:10 PM, Marc Pfister <[email protected]> wrote: >>> >>> Anselm Hook wrote: >>> >>> > We could really use some help with choosing some geo games and >>> > activities for Friday at WhereCamp SF 2011.
