Emotional Map of Greenwich

Bio Mapping is a community mapping project in which over the last three years almost 1000 people have taken part in. In the context of regular, local workshops, participants are wired up with an innovative device which records the wearer’s Galvanic Skin Response (GSR), which is a simple indicator of the emotional arousal in conjunction with their geographical location. People re-eplore their local area by walking the neighbourhood with the device and on their return a map is created which visualises points of high and low arousal. By interpreting and annotating this data, communal emotion maps are constructed that are packed full of personal observations which show the areas that people feel strongly about and truly visualise the social space of a community.”

    uhh… I’m confused… the image above is linked to a blog that didn’t mention anything about the image above…. I kind of thought maybe it would link to a larger image ot to a blog about the image. Am I missing something?

    No, just a mislink (a linko?)… if you noticed, that link just happened to be the same as the attribution link :) It’s fixed.
