Concept Statement
This is a depiction of the beauty in history. My goal was to create a map that is both poetic and pragmatic. I wanted to communicate an effective way to move from one location to another in an artistic way. This traverses my university from Hayes Hall to Orton Hall (one of the oldest buildings at Ohio State.) I was drawn to a retro-styled map and wanted to demonstrate the voices of the past, guiding me through by leaving behind fragments of their past. By examining the life of those before you, I believe can find hidden beauty that is often overlooked. This Windows XP mapping was inspired by the older computers around this campus. These devices log and keep the data and path of all users that have come across them. I find this sense of voice and past to be an interesting depiction of feeling.
