I am the place where I am

February 23rd, 2008

This project—a map of Providence onto which I have transposed symbols of aural memories of place—explores the possibilities of bridging the gap between public space and personal space. Generally, a city map provides symbols representing streets, buildings, parks, etc. My map provides subjective representations of my personal memories of place, inviting its users to visit the place, revisit my memories, and experience their own auditory sense of place. The complexity of this project is intentional—it mirrors the complexity of our strong, layered memories in relation to time and place.
