Mapping

A ubiquitous game (forming part of a series of experiments) that examines the consequences of the centric positioning of a subject in map apps. What does it mean that the YOU (i.e. as represented by Google maps’ well known blue dot) is always positioned in the centre of a digital map? What happens to the user of the map when YOU are not in the centre? In this game the subjects are only able to ‘find themselves’ on the map through collective navigation – only by moving around and by paying attention to one’s physical surroundings and to other players, does a sense of scale and direction emerge.
