carto city:
A history of cartography is a history of space and urban life. Often as we move in public spaces it is easy to forget the layers of history that exist on our landscape.A history of cartography reminds us that spacial orientations and grids and ideas of "normal" city layout structures are impossibly complicated with the political and artistic agendas of generations.
Multidisciplinary Interaction Design for Alternative City Tourisms:
This article was wonderfully presented. I like the idea of publishing art in a scientific format. The paper is a great document about observation and experimentation.

PsychoGeography: “the study of the precise laws and specific effects of the geographical environment, consciously organized or not, on the emotions and behavior of individuals.”
This Blog is especially important in realizing that what we are doing when we are interacting especially with technology is communicating with our bodies. We focus alot on our relationship with the machine as a mental measurement. We spend very little time talking about our physical relationship to our devises. how we hold them how we use them. To remember the tape measure as a tool is to remember the physicality of our relationship to tools.
