Bibliogrpahy
The Media Design Program consistently asks its students to contextualize their work. This includes, but is not limited to, work found in existing practices as well those of historical and social movements.
At a recent lecture at Art Center, Lize Mogul identified the "art" of mapping as part of a historic continuum that includes the Dadaist, Situationalist, Land Art and Neo/Psycho Geography. Modern interpretations of "mapping" extend to data visualization in the form of social networks such as MySpace and Facebook.
Listed below are few works, project and websites that have informed this project.
