Places in the city emotionally 'closer' visualised and sonified by Kitchen Budapest #foursquare #openframeworks. SubMap is a project by Dániel Feles, Krisztián Gergely, Attila Bujdosó and Gáspár Hajdu at Kitchen Budapest. The project visualises and sonificates data pulled from one of the biggest news sites of Hungary, origo.hu. One frame is one day, and on one day many things can happen. Depending on how many times a day the name of a city or a village is mentioned on the site, the map of Hungary dynamically distorts according to that number. The sound follows and sonfies that visual outcome, creating a generative ever changing drone. The project developed from the idea to draw a subjective map of Budapest that represented their preferred places or memories in the city.

It's like that old saw: "wherever you go, there you are"--but powered by Java. What London looks like to God. What London looks like to someone stuck way the #&^@ out in Chesham. (Click to see the interactive version.) But hey, it's still better than coming in from Heathrow. Ffffuuuuu..... Carden says that his travel-time estimates are still a little off. OpenStreetMap, les routards du web #1 : A la carte ! «Comment peut-on passer de 100 000 à un million de contributeurs ?» C'est l'une des questions ambitieuses qui ont été débattues, ce week-end à Amsterdam, dans le cadre du State of the Map 2009.

Pour la troisième édition de son grand meeting annuel, le projet OpenStreetMap veut sortir de l'ombre. OpenStreetMap , sorte de Wikipédia de la cartographie, est un projet un peu fou qui tente depuis 5 ans de redessiner le monde sous Creative Commons, rue après rue. Sa communauté œuvre d'abord par idéologie. Et comme toute réutilisation des contenus propriétaires de Google Maps, Yahoo! Les pistes de La Plagne sur OpenPisteMap Le potentiel est important et les usages multiples, de l'illustration d'articles sur Wikipédia à l'édition de plans municipaux, en passant par la navigation routière sur iPhone.
