Had another Idea. The pixilated map represents a cold statistical view of Stonehouse, but also the area has meaning that can’t be expressed with just numbers, the image needs meaning on a human level. So the idea is to superimpose this onto the pixilated image in a rough flawed yet natural form.

In the first week I sketched a diagram of Stonehouse from memory. As nobody ever really experiences Stonehouse looking down on it from the sky it also reflected my perspective of it on ground level and how far I judged distances so certain labels are in the wrong place and the shape of the coast it wrong, so the map is imperfect. However it more accurately reflects how the area feels and what impression it leaves on you moving through it. For myself I was fairly accurate but it would be interesting to see this done with someone who doesn’t know Stonehouse as well as I do.

So there is a conflict between the humanly perceived space which we live in and the space viewed as data by a machine which cannot make sense of the meaning behind what is inputted into it.

I manipulated the map I drew from memory and superimposed it onto the pixelmap to create a rough example of the concept, the presentation would be nicer in the final piece.

Population density.
