Locative Art

Following the last post I thought I would blog some locative text and art projects.

Image of FieldHello, world! is a work mowed into a field that encodes in Semacode the universal programmers greeting, “Hello, world!”

Image of SunsetEternal Sunset shows you webcam images of the sunset wherever it is happening at the time you visit. (This one is from Norway.)

Grafedia ImageGrafedia is a site where people can send emails with a word they have seen written in blue and underlined on the street. They then get back images associated with those words.

LogoAbout Google Maps hacks for Sonar is just one post from a group blog with a lot of posts on the category locative.

Screen ImageGutenkarte is built on MetaCarta and lets you see a map with the locations important to a text as Google Books does. They process the text, identify locations in the text and then map them. It would be neater if they let users run a text through.
