The 7 July 2012 Balloon Photographs show an interesting pattern of cracks
running on a north south axis. Military burials typically had bodies facing the
rising sun. Cracks match proportions of burial trenches described by by 1956

And in particular those made by communities.
Exactly like any other form of photography aerial
images are ground for interpretation, rather than for
objective decoding.”

DIY aerial mapping in Perugia - School of Data

Notas do Editor

  1. We are doing this with contraptions such as this one, where we cut up plastic bottles to protect cheap digital cameras, and the we program the to take pictures every 10 seconds
  2. Photography of public spaces and people in them is by and large legal. But things get more complicated when taking pictures from an unusual vantage point that can expose private property. If you’re mapping away from home, get to know people in the places you’re working -- reach out for partners and collaborators, who may have key insights into how and where to gather information, and to whom the data is surely relevant.
  3. This is why we use the balloon and kite photography tools because they allow us to see MORE – like this puddle – and you may shrug and say – yeah it’s a puddle but..
  4. The New York chapter of Public Laboratory has begun an ongoing periodic monitoring campaign in partnership with local environmental advocacy group the Gowanus Canal Conservancy. Designated a Superfund cleanup site by the EPA in 2010 due to pollution from decades of coal tar accumulation and sewage dumping. Local activists have adapted and improved many of the techniques developed for monitoring the effects of oil contamination in the Gulf of Mexico. This group of local activists have created a high-resolution map area they care about and imagery has replaced commercial and government data as a recognized representation of that place — this is a powerful example of the civic science in action.
  5. Gowanus Dredgers - their problem along the Gowanus Canal is raw sewage pouring into the Canal during heavy rains – about a million gallons per day of the stuff.
  6. So what have decided to do ? Well the sewage overflows are directly related to too much rain getting into our sewer system – so we’ve launched the Gowanus Low Altitude Mapping Program were we tie helium balloons and send them up a 1000 feet to take pictures of the Canals water quality and opportunities for improving it.
  7. In particular, we are interested in spots were rainwater could be diverted out of the overloaded sewer system and into old historic stream beds that got buried a hundred years ago. The idea is that by figuring out a more natural and sustainable manner to manage our rain water we can be better prepared for the big disasters. This for example is balloon photo taken by our canoe team right after the Sandy Hurricane which caused our local sewage pump station explode, pouring massive amounts of sewage into New York waters. But what can better quality Citizen aerials actually tell us ?
  8. The data the Public Lab community is micro – Scale – but that is precisely it’s value – it is from local citizens willing to “get their feet wet” and reconnect their expert knowledge of their backyards to a broader data sharing network
