Disseminating Parallel Futures

(photos) SAN FRANCISCO'S COUNTERPUBLICAN STREET FAIRS | (GENDER)QUEER | BURNING MAN | NEO HIPPIE | KINKY |
This piece is a major new Mashup for me.
- I read Semantically Tagged Photos from the Flickr website and shove them into Bubbles on a Google Map of the San Francisco Bay Area.
- The Photos are of all of my Street Fashion Safari's during San Francisco Bay's Conterpublican Street Festivals.
- Clicking a bubble replays my visual journey though these Conterpublican Spaces.
- Many of these people describe themselves as Queer, Trans, Burner, Raver, Traveller, Crustpunk, Anarchist, Fag, Queen, Dyke, Dominant, Submissive, Fat Girl, (Queer)WomanOfColor, PersonOfColor, Butch, Femme, Transgender, Genderqueer or No-Label.
- These are images of "Really Existing" counterpublics, genders and bodies. As such, these images will never be broadcast by "The Public".
- My Magic Map is an Immutable Mobile which binds photos together into discrete GeoTemporal Events and sends them to your laptop or smartphone.
