[Geowanking] mapping philosophies?

Sat, 15 Jul 2006 07:47:48 -0700

I've was (and still am) really smitten with Dennis Wood and his Boylan Heights mapping project. I really like the mapping of unusual things, memory maps, and maps of fictional or modified places.

(His wikipedia entry is rather weak, but there is a nice interview/summary of the project in this episode: http://www.thislife.org/pages/descriptions/98/110.html).

I'm in the early stages of researching an article about map hackers 

for Wired magazine -- I know the term "map hackers" is vague, but that 

will change. What I'm wondering is whether folks here have been 

inspired by any particular philosophies or theories of geography in 

their work? Is there a Norbert Wiener or Lawrence Lessig of the 

geowank world? Somebody who is geeky but also policy-minded or 

philosophical, whose ideas have inspired you to make map tools or 

build geolocation tech?
