true/LOVE: reflections
The true/LOVE experiment was quite successful: we appear to have tapped into a vein of interest & emotion that we didn't realise existed. Apparently, when you ask people - in so many words - to share what they love about a place, they respond heartily. We were swamped by people practically the whole time (from 8.00pm to 12.30 am).
I'm still analysing the actual map that resulted, but the video above is a good discussion of why this sort of participatory, site-specific engagement works, and what design principles went into it.
More considered, analytic, and reflexive commentary to follow.
