Potential Sites

Here are a list of potential sites I have chosen for Data Landscapes.
1. Millyard-Berlin NH
The closing of the mill has created a difficult economic situation and left the town without an identity. The structure and yard a huge and are the city's most well-known landmark.
2. Purgatory Chasm, Sutton MA
Close to Providence so it is feasible and I like the name. This might be an interesting place to actually explore the space between two binaries. . . sinner and saint.
3. American School for the Deaf, Hartford CT
This is the oldest Deaf school in the country and it houses a museum. It is very important in Deaf culture and history. Many "locative" media projects attempt to be democratic or outside of the priviledged space of the gallery but many involve sound and still create a hierarchy. Current technology allows these projects to be more inclusive.
