(B8) Social Media: Working on Google Maps Idea

CALL WITH PEG NOTES:

Bring focus to the original screenshot with street view.

Having similar imagery makes it hard to see which was the original image from our geotag data

- Isolate pages?

Why do we geotag trendy spaces?

- Is it more secure/safe since there's more foot traffic?

When AI messes up you realise it a machine again.

- Linking to the 'plank' findings when doing similar imagery search on google. 

What's the physical representation fo code for a book?

Glossary, index, contents, are these code of printed matter? 

Code = x and y of image, could have these visible.

- Thinking about the term "build a website" how do you "build a book", is this the code? 

- Print settings/print dialogue

Could haves that have all the information about the book so if you wanted to replicate it the information is there, could be the front or back (like in form of the book book) could have in print the structure of the book. 

- No. of pages

- Index of content

Could be really in depth, laid out in lines like code/ HTML (similar previous experiment on transcript)

Like the collection of stuff, with big archive of stuff, feels relevant. 

- Could lead to 

People who print out web pages

- recipes

- directions

Is this more for an older audience.

People print it out so they don't lose it, having things in your physical space you're less likely to lose it, gives it more importance. 

Terminology of digital media has stemmed from physical print:

- Bookmark

- Page

A plank is timber that is flat, elongated, and rectangular with parallel faces that are higher and longer than wide.

Image 3
Glaciokarst is a karst landscape that was glaciated during the cold periods of the Pleistocene and displays major landforms of glacial influence.

A masonry arch:

1. Keystone
2. Voussoir
3. Extrados
4. Impost
5. Intrados
6. Rise
7. Clear span
8. Abutment

An arch is a vertical curved structure that spans an elevated space and may or may not support the weight above it, or in case of a horizontal arch like an arch dam, the hydrostatic pressure against it.

- Odd here that the AI was able to identify the location from this image

Taking this and applying to the publication, trying to add in more differentiation between the street view image and the other imagery.

- Feels very sanitised, clean, objective, doesn't represent the type of experience you get when interacting with the internet. 

Thinking more about the placement of imagery using random number generator:

- This grid corresponds the the grid on the page layout:

Using the other context provided on the web search to add more content to the book, but something about it doesn't fit.

- Could maybe play with the idea of getting sucked into the hole of an internet search?

- Could keep it just to similar imagery?

With just imagery and random imagery placement dictated by the random number generator. 

Whole book:

This has a big level of repetition within the aesthetic, think there could be ways to reduce the repetitiveness of the book. 

- Spoke with Peg about the importance of there being a narrative to help avoid the content form becoming boring. 

- Could reduce the number of pages and have a selection within the book, in keeping with the idea of having all our experiments collated into one outcome. 

Peg had been thinking more about humanising different commands:

Peggy sent Today at 15:52

Save = fold over a corner/bookmark Refresh = start again? Delete = rub out/cross out/put in the bin Share = distribute/post/gift Package = wrap up Paste = stick/slot in Mask = cover Select = pick up Zoom = bring closer Copy = trace/photocopy

And realised that most of these actions are based off of physical interactions anyway. - I though could note down all the different action I make on a computer for 2 mins and then apply this to a printed format of the book.
