IDIA Lab Deep Mapping Projects
IDIA Lab's director John Fillwalk informally discusses several projects from the Lab's portfolio over the years in the context of the notion of "Deep Mapping'. https://idialab.org
Defining deep maps from a 2012 session at IUPUI's Polis Center: https://polis.iupui.edu/defining-deep...
Deep Mapping Middletown is an intensive investigation of Muncie, Indiana, that employs techniques derived from literary study, history, anthropology, geography and art. Our aim is to produce a “detailed multimedia depiction of a place” that capitalizes on the extensive archive created by the century of social research focused on Muncie as a result of its role in Middletown.
The project, sponsored by the Center for Middletown Studies (Ball State University), is in its initial stages. We are gathering input from scholars about how we can develop intensive and complex representations of place. Our longer-term goal is to secure funding that enables us to produce detailed deep maps, including representations that exploit various 3D technologies.
The Center has received funding from the George and Frances Ball Foundation and the Sponsored Projects Administration, Ball State University, for the initial planning phase of the project.
