Mapping the criminal use of the city by examining the police reports. Some of the information, like stick-ups are site specific (down to the exact spot) while other data (like violence) are more general, only showing the zones where the violence is most agressive. I will further into this and try to make it even more specific. WHY is this relevant? Maps like this makes transparent something that absolutely shapes both the affective experience of being in the city and the choices we make there-the actuality of street crime-and by plotting these reported incidents an a map we visualize the exact knowledge. What if this information was ambient- that the information came to you while you where in that place? Sensing this through walking in the street, would one feel different when one had the exact INFORMATION, NOT just ASSUMPTIONS on the conditions on the crime/ dangers on the street?
Do you have any idea why it is like this on these places? Is it random that these places ended up like this? Do the spaces already tell you something about why? referring to assuming vs knowing that you mentioned...
