O professor André Lemos, coordenador licenciado do GPC, acaba de lançar um de seus projeto de pós-doutorado que envolve Google Maps e GPS no mapeamento de hotspots da cidade de Edmonton, no Canadá. O projeto intitulado SUR-VIV-ALL foi baseado no livro Survival [ sobrevivência] de Margaret Atwood. Para sua pesquisa que trata de mídias locativas, André conta que "planejou escrever a cidade de Edmonton por meio de um GPS, mapeando alguns hotposts ao longo do caminho [usando iStumbler, Loki, Google Maps, Google Earth]". Ele resume a idéia do projeto, "basically, a way to see my "survival" here". [basicamente um caminho para compreender minha sobrevivência aqui].
Abaixo alguns trechos da descrição do projeto em inglês.
"In the book "Survival", the author defends the thesis that the relationship with the survival is a pattern in the imagination of Canadian literature, both of prose and poetry: fighting the forces of nature, the natives, and the animals. .
The word "SURVIVAL" has been changed to "SUR-VIV-ALL," trying to create different meanings in English and French, the official languages Canada, and in Portuguese, my mother language. In French we can see or inferred "SUR VIV (R) E / VIE ...", something like an excess and a lack of life, just when survival is the least and last resort of existence. In Portuguese, "VIVA", claiming to live, an imperative. In English "survival", has its original meaning, plus the "ALL" that calls for a social dimension, the public and community.
What is at stake here is the imagination of the city, the relationship with extreme temperatures, the use of cars as standard displacement, the empty spaces, the invisibility of electronic processes (written by the GPS is invisible as well the hotspots Wi - Fi) on the actual structures in the midst of public space. We have photos, videos that attempt to capture this relationship, but with the thread to link with the outside world, the nature."
