A friend wrote today about my where2.0 remarks on visualizing invisible
information and pointed me to a Burning Man geospatial installation a
friend of his Nick Thompson, created for Burning Man 2004 called You
are Here: http://www.nixfiles.com/youarehere/ " A computer screen is suspended near eye level. The screen rotates freely and shows the constellations, stars, and planets, as if in a magic window. In the view through the window, it is possible to see down through the globe to the continents and stars on the other side. People usually orient themselves to their immediate surroundings. The act of moving around a window into a much larger world makes their relationship to the globe profoundly more tangible." - Mike Liebhold Tom Longson (nym) wrote: Wind speeds can get up to 80m/h on the ground. Not sure if it's the same above, but I would assume so. |
