Historically, aerial mapmaking has been handled by governments and businesses alone. Who else could afford to put satellites in orbit or hire planes for private flyovers?
The notion that aerial imagery is only for the rich and powerful is being turned on its ear by an inspired group of DIY cartographers who have pioneered the field of grassroots mapping. The concept is simple: for about $100 in materials you can shoot aerial imagery that is higher resolution than any standard public satellite imagery. Using incredibly simple balloon and kite contraptions, you can capture the images on demand whenever you want, as often as you want.
Jeffrey Warren of MIT's Media Lab came up with the basic concept, which he calls "Grassroots Mapping," last year while working on a land-rights dispute in Lima, Peru. Then the BP oil spill happened, and the benefits of this method of mapping became urgently clear. Working with the Lousiana Bucket Brigade during the media blackout when FAA regulations prevented aircraft from flying lower than 4,000 feet above sensitive areas of the spill, Warren and the Grassroots Mapping team flew balloons and kites and captured incredibly vivid images of the oil spill's impacts. Using simple online cartographic tools, the photos can be stitched together into bigger maps, like this one of the Lake Borgne wetlands east of New Orleans captured on June 11th of last year.

In samenwerking met het Nederlands Film Festival organiseerde SETUP een BYOB in TivoliVredenburg. Bring Your Own Beamer is een internationaal beproefd recept voor een fantastische avond bomvol visuele verrassingen, bedacht door kunstenaar Rafaël Rozendaal. Op 26 september projecteerden meer dan 75 kunstenaars en makers hun werk op muren, ramen en roltrappen in het nieuwe muziekpaleis. Van video, animatie en interactieve installaties tot data, generatief of experiment.

The installation "Mapping the city" is a structural chain of a number of furniture objects and scale-models, lined up as a long straight street. The furniture objects are placed side by side like a row of houses to form one city grit.By this arrangement the furniture as object is no longer experienced as autonomous identities, but as a part of one sculptural installation.

3D mapping at DUMBO Art Festival. I think I expected to much because I must admit that I was a little disappointed. Not the best I've seen. Did enjoy my day in DUMBO though!!! Great festival

Nick Goumas, Research & Development Engineer and Gideon Billings, Robotics Ph.D. Student with the DROP Lab (droplab.engin.umich.edu) test out underwater robot on the Great Lakes.
The overall project goal is to develop a proof of concept that autonomous underwater vehicles can conduct image surveys. This image data would then be post-processed with various neural networks to detect and record the numbers of fish and mussels of certain species. This system would then be used to determine the populations of these species across the great lakes.
