Mapping  Conversa.ons  About  Loca.ons  

Other  Side  of  the  Planet  

Legend  

 =  Present    =  Past    =  Future

Process  

This  Google  Earth  map  tracks  conversa.ons  in  which  topics  about  loca.ons  have  come  up.    The  content  comes  from  four  full  days  of  research  where  I  paid  careful  aMen.on  to  my  conversa.ons  with  others.    If  the  discussion  topic  wandered  toward  a  loca.on,  I  recorded  the  converser’s  name,  the  loca.on  discussed,  and  the  .meline  in  which  the  speaker  talked  about  the  loca.on:  present,  past,  or  future.    

Process  

To  show  the  tense  in  which  the  loca.on  was  discussed  I  have  used  color  coded  pins  marking  the  loca.ons:  orange  represents  past,  green  represents  future,  and  yellow  represents  present.    To  symbolize  the  amount  of  .me  in  the  past  or  future  from  the  present,  I  changed  thickness  of  the  map  lines:  thinner  symbolizes  very  close  to  present  and  thicker  symbolizes  farther  from  present.  

Process  

Finally,  I  present  my  own  judgment  on  the  likeliness  of  the  discussed  loca.on-­‐specific  events  actually  happening  or  having  happened.    To  do  this  I  changed  the  transparency  of  the  mapping  lines:  opaque  lines  mean  this  loca.on  event  is  very  likely  to  happen  or  to  have  happened  and  50%  transparency  indicates  my  high  disbelief  the  event  actually  happened  or  ever  will  happen.
