The "Exactitude of Maps" is a soundscape that represents the data layer interwoven with the urban landscape. By sonifying user reviews and rankings taken from digital maps and linking them to their physical locations, the project enables listeners to wander through the virtual heat map of the city revealed by aggregated user data.
When tuning into this new sensory experience, listeners are invited to consider who has access and who profits from this detail-rich, live representation. What is the relationship between users, who generate data by adding their businesses, uploading their travel photos, or leaving reviews, and the platform providers that can monetize this?
