Mapping Project Topic

I am going to map the changing nature of Auckland CBD demographics, e.g. the change of the numbers of foreign visitors, tourists and international students etc., and further relating this to actual fluctuations in places of accommodation.

The concept of the topic is from the readings in first three weeks. Data is not just statistic figure, but could indicate the everyday life in the city.

Mapping the unmappable - Allen, S.

Collective
Notations presume a social context, and shared conventions of interpretation. The score is not a work itself, but a set of instructions for performing a work. A score cannot be a private language. It works instrumentally to coordinate the actions of multiple performers who collectively produce the work as even. As a model for operating in the city, the collective character of notation is highly suggestive. Going beyond transgression and cross-programming, notations could function to map the complex and indeterminate theater of everyday life in the city. The use of notation marks a shift from the production of space to the performance of space.

Data/Space
The mapped “space” under consideration here ranges vast from information space (grasping patterns within vast quantities of data) to physical space (navigating the city, region or globe) to social space (representing power relations within and between organizations, whether corporate cultural, political or even covert).
