Maps - initial ideas

Some ideas based on the starting point 'maps'.
  • Documenting a journey through film. Attach a camera to a hat and walk somewhere. Speed it up and put some daft tune to it. Really old idea.
  • Stupid place names - Shitterton, Dung (France), Balls (US) etc. Maybe a world map with these places pointed out. Use of Google Maps to extensively research.
  • Image maps - websites. Link Maps - maps of the web.
  • Video game maps. Create a (Game Maker) game. Might be too similar to the MySpace game idea? Somehow try and merge the two, maybe.
  • Cartography - hoax maps, place names.
  • False entries.
  • Explomap. Good site.
Some less sensible ideas:
  • Carve a map on a chocolate biscuit.
  • Web browser simply states 'you are here'. If illegal, 'you are not here'.
  • 'You are here' portable sign. 'I am here'.
