Conceptually the workshop will focus on the tension between "objective mapping" and subjective mapping" and how locative media relate to both. At this moment in time many possibilities of GPS data collection and visualization are available mapping becomes more and more personalized. Does mapping thus become a story telling tool for everybody? Now that we can easily combine GPS with other personal data such as photo, video or audio what does this bring? Will proposed geosophy of John K. Wright in his lucid 1946 article "Terrae Incognitae: The Place of Imagination in Geography" become true and available for everybody? If google maps becomes the standard of personalized mapping, how subjective it still can be? or do we need to design more flexible, software tools?

* "GeoTales" is the given name by iMAL for the locative media workshop led by Esther Polak in Brussels, Feb 2009. www.imal.org/NewBraveWorld
