WikiMap

Concept:
Date: 2006

The communications project that the Ars Electronica Futurelab developed in 2005 for the City of Linz’s Hotspot initiative has quickly spawned spin-offs and an interesting enhancement application. Now, there’s also a WikiMap Madrid (produced in cooperation with MediaLabMadrid) and a WikiMap Europe (featuring statistical data and individuals’ opinions about the EU) as well as a WikiMap for regional online community projects in Upper Austria. With the latest development various WikiMaps can be directly implemented in Google Earth.
