In my dissertation research, I am interested in the mappings of Seattle neighborhoods, conducted by local residents, facilitated by a Seattle nonprofit organization, using mobile technology originally developed by a foundation in New York City.  More diffusely, I write about ?technologies? as both the material hardware and software that grew to prominence in the late 1990s alongside the development of social technologies: indicators that measure quality-of-life, broken windows theories of crime and urban decay, and the training of residents to view their streets in replicable ways.

Anyone interested in the relationship between art and activism might be interested in this 'group.' I like the metaphor of bees and cross-pollination as a way of visualizing activism in the information age.
