“…The more-than-one is always already working … Influenced by Haraway's (2016: 12) practices of "passing patterns back and forth, giving and receiving, patterning, holding the unasked-for patterns in one's hand, response-ability" (see also Land and Hamm, 2018), our digital photo-graphic empirical material appears in collectiveness, scribblings and talking across continents as urban wayfaring geography (Field, 2009;Saldanha, 2018). The lines are not straightforward lines; they are complex, uncertain and messy.…”

In this article, the authors experiment with data-ing as a methodology, and wonder how three researchers—two in Oslo (Norway) and one in Melbourne (Australia)—can come closer to-with the research material by following and buggy-walking a young wayfarer in urban spaces and places. The ideas of not knowing and experimenting, making-with urban landscapes, transportation, materials, sounds, surfaces, bodily movements, minor gestures, and haptic engagement, transform their thinking about data-ing as research-creation while traveling and walking the city with a buggy and a young wayfarer's adventure. Their experimental method uses smartphones and digital technology, and the methodological contours in this article are attuned to and engage in and with multiple surfaces of an urban city landscape. Lines and threads transform into traces and create surfaces, and lines transforming into threads dissolve surfaces. The authors create city maps and investigate what digital tools, social media, and a chat service can generate and unfold when wayfaring locally and talking and writing across continents. Their project follows two layers—doing data-ing as research-creation and wayfaring. To do data-ing as collective open-ended productions among researchers invites one to ask what happened and what might occur temporally in cities as minor gestures here and there. The bodily movement offered by an urban wayfarer invites the authors to speculate with what the phenomenon of an investigator, an artist, a maker, a runner, or an activist can unfold in the moments to come.

“…Cartography plays an important part in our daily lives (Field, 2005(Field, , 2009)-we use maps for many navigation tasks, both in abstract and in concrete domains. In particular geographic maps are frequently used, for example, in car navigation with a GPS device.…”

“…In particular geographic maps are frequently used, for example, in car navigation with a GPS device. Map creation has historically involved much artistry (Field, 2009)-from early cartographers who have created magnificent atlases to beautiful examples in modern interactive infographics. Even though some modern maps (e. g., in GPS car navigation) tend to focus on their task such as supporting navigation and only as a secondary aspect on their aesthetic character (Kent, 2005), artists have also explored maps in their works (e. g., (Wood, 2006;Varanka, 2006;Krygier, 2006;Caquard et al, 2009;Harmon, 2009;Ljungberg, 2009;Watson, 2009)); some art historians argue, for example, that Piet Mondrian, during the later part of his life, was at least in part inspired by maps or city street layouts to some of his well-known abstract works (Schoenholz Bee & Heliczer, 2004).…”

Visual Abstraction and Stylisation of Maps

Abstract-We explore visual map abstraction for the generation of stylized renderings of 2D map data. We employ techniques that are centered around the concept of shape simplification and graph layout and that allow iterative abstraction of 2D maps. We use data from publicly available sources and show how we can iteratively generate aesthetic renditions of these maps. These renditions do not have the goal to allow for navigation tasks but instead show the map data in a distorted manner. The techniques used to create these images apply simplification, abstraction/generalization, and displacement operations to the map elements in varying orders and add stylistic shading to produce aesthetic renditions for print or electronic displays. The degree of abstraction/generalization can be individually chosen and determines the characteristics of the distorted map: whether components retain their shape, degenerate, or are processed in a manner that the abstraction becomes the focus of the image rather than the underlying map data. The renditions can be further personalized by choosing shading and colors for this shading. Together, the presented techniques allow for playful and creative exploration of aesthetic renditions of 2D map data.
