Neogeography
Here‘s an interesting definition:
Neogeography, as we see it, is a diverse set of practices that operate outside, or alongside, or in the manner of, the practices of professional geographers. Rather than making claims on scientific standards, methodologies of neogeography tend towards the intuitive, expressive, personal, absurd, and or artistic, but may just be idiosyncratic applications of “real” geographic techniques .
That resonates quite nicely with what we’re doing at ProjectX, especially with the community features of ZoomIn and some of the new features that we’re coming up with now. With my “urbanist hat” on, it reinforces for me the idea that a “place” is more than just a “space” or a set of coordinates: it’s about experience, memory and community.
