Reflecting on "Howl, Vancouver: An Experiment in Mapping a Poem onto a City"
A lot of the mapping exercise was a crash course in Google maps and spreadsheets. It was frustrating at times, as there was a lot of trial and error. After I finished the assignment, I had further issues with image-links changing and thus not showing on the map. Let's just say there was a fairly steep learning curve with this assignment! This assignment probably took the longest, and induced the most stress. But I was satisfied with the end result, and inspired by the affordances of mapping. Mapping geographically-oriented artifacts really calls for a conceptual shift and provokes a more creative or alternative way of presenting information.
