Geoplaced Knowledge
This is a research notebook exploring the gaps between cultural geography, natural environments and ubiquitous computing.
It documents my progress undertaking a cross-disciplinary PhD, in Geospatial Science and Design at RMIT University, Melbourne.
I'm working with Parks Victoria, a government body charged with managing natural environments in the state of Victoria, Australia. My work is being conducted under the Design Research Institute's Affective Atlas project, whose goal is to better facilitating the creation and dissemination of tacit knowledge about national parks.
