Macondo Bus Stop
Shots of the Macondo Bus Stop, which is the site of the interactive mapping project, Living Maps.
Cabula6 and Michael Pinsky worked with the residents of Macondo to chart out the area -- its past, present and future. "The resulting large-scale map has been mounted on a billboard wall within Bus Stop 73a. Those waiting for their bus as well as passersby can add new information, missing names, locations, graffiti and teenage declarations of love and disdain, thereby becoming the primary actors in a continually evolving exhibition. Their additions will be absorbed into the plan, as the map is frequently reprinted over the following several months, reversing the conventional relationship between civic information and personal perception."
The students in the Macondo Dance Connect project created their own virtual bus stops, personalized with their own stories and images, in the virtual world Teen Second Life, as part of the program's initiatives to explore cultural identity through creative collaboration in virtual space. When you click on the virtual bus stops, they display the stories of each student's journey to the Macondo.
