Hidden Urban Communication

Images created from: Boston MA, Rotterdam The Netherlands, Seville Spain, London UK

Without even realizing it, people use visual pieces of their environment for
navigating around the city. After a certain point, people stop using maps and asking people for directions. Because when moving around a city you move base on what you see. You set certain expectations of an area base on how it
communicates to you with how the people and buildings look. What kind of buisness are around. How much space and nature there is, and just about anything else to build assumptions about that place.

When coming to Rotterdam I didn’t use tourist maps because I was planning on being here longer. I didn’t know the language, and I had no guide. So in order to understand my new environment I walked and observed the city as much as possible so I could build in a way a map of Rotterdam in my head.

This project isn’t focusing on one city, but what makes city and how completly different neighborhoods and areas create one place and their connections and flow from one to the other.

Communcation Triangle

2007-05-18T09:42:00.000-07:00

Hi there earthlings!

Can everyone use the communication triangle on every work they've send me?
I need the stuff tomorrow morning (sun 20 may) before 12.00 in the morning so please return it a.s.a.p. (I will email the .pdf to all of you)

Use of the communication triangle
Just take a look at your work and see if any of the words on the triangle match with the way of communication you've visualized. Then mark the word(s) that match by underlining them.

Print your own booklet
I'll make the two books for Roger & Twopoints.net and put them in Roger his mailbox mondaymorning. If you want a copy of the book you've got to print it yourself as I cannot make it for everyone. I can supply a .pdf of the booklet when it's finished.

Human Communication

NEWS FEED

Previous week I made like 15 concepts to create this new visual language, to communicate with our small green crawling friends.

Conclusion : I doesn't matter how you communicate, important are the rules we make to what we communicate.

So from my previous concepts I choosed the Stellar as a grid to communicate. Then I decided to create a map of newsblogs(rss feeds) all over the world. The daily news as a mirror for human society.

The different colors are based on the newsfeeds.

My visual experiments:

knots visualized

2007-05-10T05:23:00.000-07:00

We could use different colors, maybe they see everything in red?
It also suggest depth. Like a 3d picture. Which could refer to real knots, so then we make a step of transforming something we see, to a symbol. Which can be used for communication.

Knots

2007-05-10T05:04:00.000-07:00

Using knots could be an universal system.
to have at least some interaction with this other species.

Even the Maya's used knots for storing and remembering data.

Just a message

2007-05-10T04:54:00.000-07:00

I would like to share this communication, which impressed me deeply. I had not communicated with any aliens since 1984, during which I had daily contact with the local aliens from our solar system. They trained me in esoteric matters for many years previously to 1984, particularly Venusians.

Continues: Super personal communication

2007-05-10T03:21:00.000-07:00

Now that I have found the way we skaters communicate through the city centre of Rotterdam, I must develop a human language, which is readable to all skaters. The way we skaters communicate to referrer points has never been visualized.

I have to sort things out on how I would visualize some aspects of the communication. The way I want to visualize this communication is to create a map on which I place some known referrer points to have a start point on our own map, this for people that never have visit Rotterdam and need a hold-on. Next to that I will create the ways/roads we travel to these skate spots, which are only named by terms we skaters use. Then I will visualize all the floor patterns so we could see which places are good to skate. The last thing will be al the emotion on the street, for example the places you should not skate at night because of the danger.

Concept

Map with the visualization of the personal communication used by skaters in the city of Rotterdam. The map includes names of streets (personal names, streets we just skate through don’t have names cause for us there just the way we use to get to the spot), hold-on spots for people that don’t know Rotterdam, floor plans so we could see where its good to skate. Last but not least are the emotions of the street. Places we don’t skate cause of the danger (violence) or people we meet on the street like bums that hang out there everyday.

SUPER PERSONAL COMMUNICATION

2007-05-09T07:19:00.000-07:00

Referer points by and for skateboarding, used as a way to navigate, communicate and socialize through the centre of rotterdam city. Im talking about streetspots where skateboarding takes place. By this we have like 50 places in Rotterdam where we skate and name them all different.

The names are on a non-physical way defined by a particle that has the attention or is special to any spot. In this way a particle can by anything. Most are defined by the architecture/building (known) or the shape/color (object).

In a physical way every spot has to be defined in a way of a symbol to make it a human language which everyone can read. These symbols are mostly defined by the same definitions as the non-physical language like the building surrounding or the shape/color of the object.

The next coming days i have to define the universal human language of these skatespots.
