using the technology
of the telephon networks (cellular phone networks / internet), the application
provides the possibility to translate his/her physical/spatial and intellectual/spiritual
moves (and its motivations behind) onto a web platform. this translation
and mapping happens directly by the member by sending location- and (e)motion-based
information (sms, web-online-editing) about individual spots, moments,
movements, ways and stays.
the visual basics of geanet are maps/plans. each single member develops
his/her individual cartography by working with the above mentioned technologies:
his/her way in space in-between the poles of interest and affection becomes
digital and visual because it evolved into a concrete physical state of
being related. “individual landscape” becomes “condividual
datascape” and “ I ” shapes up as a knot in the networks
of “ yous ”.
hence geanet includes as a central feature the possibility to overlap
these individual maps and layers of information: this way a
member is able to create new kind of versatile maps based on information
derived from the individual meta-data of the community.
his/her specific motivations, routes and destinations draw spots, lines,
curves and intersections. a hyperlinked multi-layer-pattern of “all”
ways and stays of a community composed by the individual movements and
“meetings” of people, their imagination, wishes and projects
emerges: a transpersonal cartography > an affective geography.
