During my meeting with Chris regarding my space project there were some interesting ideas bounded about. For the project I would like to produce something based around the cycles I defined. There was some interesting points about Greenfield and Brownfield, the idea all space started out as ‘untouched’ land such as agricultural or ‘green’ land and slowly through cycles has evolved into brownfield or previously developed land which has been left to decay and therefore is ripe to be entered into another cycle. There is the archaeological quality to the cycles that could be manifested in many ways, either by using GPS tagging such as Mediascape to show the physical transformation of the space, almost like a historical TomTom where you could walk old routes and pathways through present day architecture and be faced by walls or obstructions. There is also an interesting project by ex-DAT/MLA student Chris O’Shea who produced a piece that mapped how many people walked through a specified route on a 3D plane by forming ‘canyons’ in the plane. I’m not very good at explaining things so its best if you see it for yourself here.
