Emotional City Mapping - Artist Christian Nold



Below is an excerpt of an article by Lisa Leff of Fosters Online (Accessed via Softhook here).
"SAN FRANCISCO — As cartography projects go, Christian Nold's approach to charting the peaks and valleys of urban landscapes is decidedly unconventional.
First, he outfits volunteers with global positioning system devices and the sensors used in lie detector tests. Then, he sends his subjects out to wander their neighbourhoods. When they  return, Nold asks them to recount what they saw and felt when the polygraph recorded a quickened heartbeat or an elevated blood pressure."
 You can check out the project here.

And the final maps here.
