Christian Nold’s Stockport Emotion Map
Posted by lauracrestohl in Mapping Ourselves on 12/06/2010
Christian Nold’s Bio Mapping/Emotion Mapping project includes workshops in which participants provided with equipment that reads that Galvanic Skin Reponse (GSR) re-explore local areas. The equipment indicates emotional arousal associated with their geographical location, which is then placed on a map of the area. The resulting map illustrates the biological reactions to a space, the physical manifestations of our emotions. Nold’s map locates points of arousal, thus communicating how one feels in a particular place. Thus, the material exprience of the body (faster heartbeat, sweating) is associated with specific locations.
