Mapping Milwaukee
Milwaukee is a city full of many fascinating locations that can be easily overlooked due to a busy city lifestyle. People often get caught up experiencing the same things over and over because it becomes something familiar. With this project I want to encourage people to explore and get to know their city. I combined some of the locations I personally enjoy with locations I received from other people. For each location I created a triptych of images to give the viewer a small sense of the location. They begin to understand the colors and textures present at the location. The images don’t explicitly give away the location but are meant to create an interest in the location and experiencing it physically as well as visually. Each triptych is labeled with its location’s GPS coordinates that match a pin on the Google.Maps map also titled with the coordinates. The viewer is meant to be able to access the locations. It is my hope that the reason they want to access the location is because the images created a visual interest and there is a desire to experience it physically as well.
