single page net map

"What is this? It's a map of the entire Internet. At the moment we're displaying the owner of each IP address (grey boxes), and which IP addresses are listed on the Spamhaus XBL blacklist (red dots), but we should be able to show other things in the future.

A map? Yes, we map all 4,294,967,296 IP addresses onto a huge image and let you zoom into it and pan around. Just like google maps, but more internetty."

The problem of creating cognitive maps of contemporary landscapes and territories poses significant challenges, but at the same time tech advances move so rapidly that new map interfaces crop up day by day. As more and more of these are available to a general population, the agency of the crowd [with both predictable and unpredictable results] grows exponentially.

ghostbustour

"listen! do you smell something?"

"Sites relevant to the original 'Ghostbusters' compose the tour path, with video content relevant to the film, geography and history of New York comprising the tour. Watching film footage on a portable media device, while standing in the site of its creation some 20 years ago, 'media memories' become real memories and mediated experience becomes actualized. ghostbustour is an attempt to re-attach "media memories" with our real experience of space and time." ghostbustour.com
