Description
GeoVision is an interactive installation designed to facilitate the real-time visualization and archiving of cultural responses. Drawing on principles of cultural evolution and adaptation, it demonstrates how socio-historical, geographic, and personal contexts shape meaning-making processes. GeoVision functions as a dynamic, living archive of cultural interpretations, which evolve over time through variation, competition, and inheritance.
The system is built using an integrated suite of digital tools and engages participants through a multi-faceted interface, including an interactive map web-based application, a real-time generative art installation, and a tactile data sculpture. These components capture participant behaviors—such as geolocation, thematic engagement, and other behavioral feedback—and translate them into evolving generative art forms. The conceptual design aligns with interdisciplinary analyses that emphasize the impact of digitalization on collective memory, including the emergence of new memory forms within digital environments (Yasseri, Gildersleve, & David, 2022).
The theoretical underpinnings and methodological strategies of GeoVision illustrate its potential as a microcosm for observing cultural adaptation. Ethical considerations, particularly surrounding data privacy, consent, and accessibility, are critically addressed, alongside strategies to enhance inclusivity and sustainability in future iterations. By combining cultural theory, technological innovation, and participatory art practices, GeoVision v2.0 offers a platform to explore cross-cultural engagement, amplify underrepresented narratives, and foster reflexive processes of meaning-making.
