So, I should have posted this ages ago… but about a month ago, Ben and I undertook a residency in a gallery in Dorset.
Folksonomy. interim Art Lab at KUBE.
‘A folksonomy is a system of classification derived from the practice and method of collaboratively creating and managing tags to annotate and categorise content; this practice is also known as collaborative tagging, social classification, social indexing, and social tagging.’ (wikipedia.org)
During the week of Monday 18 January 2010 Ben Trill and Esther Yarnold (www.interim.org.uk) will be in residence at KUBE Poole, as part of the gallery’s Art Lab programme. Ben and Esther will be using a Gigapan* to create montaged images. These images will be uploaded to a web site for ‘social tagging’, allowing everyone to take part in creating a collaborative digital visual patchwork.
*GigaPan consists of three technological developments: a robotic camera mount for capturing very high-resolution (gigapixel and up) panoramic images using a standard digital camera; custom software for constructing very high-resolution gigapixel panoramas; and, a new type of website for exploring, sharing and commenting on gigapixel panoramas and the detail our users will discover within them. See www.gigapan.org for more information.
Using the Gigapan was great, but we hugely underestimated how long it would take to actually capture one image! So the week was very rewarding, and we would definitley love to extend this project further (now we have got to grips with the tech!) I will keep you posted…
