The new form of cartography mediation in cyberspace: notes on the Post Urbano project
Keywords:
new mapping technologies, cyberspace, cartography, Google Maps, Post Urbano.Abstract
The emergence of Web 2.0 and the development of mapping programs associated with it, such as Google Maps, allowed ordinary people, i.e. non-cartographers, to appropriate new technologies, and thereby, to create their own maps. Since that, a multitude of applications built by combining professional cartographic products and content produced by users themselves began to circulate on the web, offering us alternative views of space and giving rise to new relations with it. Named Post Urbano, the project presented here is an example of virtual mapping that uses such resources and shows us the new possibilities gained by cartography in cyberspace.
