Digital Cartography and the Promise of Interactivity
Update: 2020-09-29
Description
In this week's episode, guest Jason Farman discusses his article "Mapping the Digital Empire: Google Earth and the Process of Postmodern Cartography" which analyzes how the political and social implications of cartography take on new significance in the digital age, with the proliferation of interactive maps and geographic information systems (GIS). Farman argues that, by incorporating a social network that engages users as embodied interactors rather than disembodied voyeurs, Google Earth is able to present user-generated content spatially within the very object that such content critiques.
