I’ll be leading a workshop of Mark Shepard’s locative media artwork Tactical Sound Garden in Temple Bar Gallery on Saturday 13th at 2pm as part of the re:public exhibition program
All welcome, hope to see you there.
A visualisation of the response to the earthquake by the OpenStreetMap community. Within 12 hours the white flashes indicate edits to the map (generally by tracing satellite/aerial photography).
Over the following days a large number of additions to the map are made with many roads (green primary, red secondary) added. Also many other features were added such as the blue glowing refugee camps that emerge.
A lot of these edits were made possible by a number of satellite and aerial imagery passes in the days after the quake, that were released to the public for tracing and analysis.

As part of the re:public exhibition at Temple Bar Galleries I would like to invite you to an Open Street Map Mapping Workshop and Roundtable discussion I will be leading in the Temple Bar Gallery this Saturday 6th at 2pm.
Open Street Map Workshop and Roundtable
Sat 6th February 2pm, Temple Bar Galleries
The Open Street Map (OSM) was established to create a digital map in which the underlying data would be free to use without restrictions. OSM uses a web based system with mapping tools, instructions and tutorials which lets people equipped with GPS devices, cameras and notebooks map their own neighbourhoods.
With over 200,000 members and growing at a rate of 300 per day the results are hugely impressive and likely to get even more so with the introduction of OSM applications for mobile phones. The unique advantage of OSM is that the maps are made by locals so they are often filled with a degree of detail that is impractical for any commercial organisation, and are continually being updated. Most importantly all the data which underlies the maps is opensource.
The workshop will be an introduction to practical OSM mapping starting with a brief overview and instructions. Groups will take to the streets with a portable GPS, cameras, notebooks and GPS enabled phones to map a section of Dublin. On returning to the gallery the new material will be added in real time to the OSM map of Dublin.
The afternoon will conclude with a roundtable discussion on the OSM and opensource mapping with Blazej Ciepluch and Ricky Jacob from the SratAG Strategic research in Advanced Geotechnologies group at NUI Maynooth, Richard Cantwell a GIS consultant as well as Dublin OSM users.
All are welcome, no prior experience necessary, equipment will be provided. If you have a GPS enabled device bring it along. Iphone owners download the free Mapzen app from the istore.
