Artography: mapping social experiences as public art

This paper outlines our submission to the OZCHI 2009 24-hour online design challenge. The goal of the project was to explore ways of enhancing user engagement with current maps. For the purposes of the design challenge, the concept was to be centred in the city of Melbourne. Our proposed map displays user interactions with the city in a way that constructs points of interest that are constantly changing based on these interactions. Displayed on a screen in Melbourne's CBD, this map brings together everyday flows of movement within the city and allows people to interact with the map using mobile devices.
