Technology and geography: some work in progress by Barry Brown and Louise Barkhuus
In our own work we have studied these issues in a range of conceptual, empirical and design led activities. These two approaches can be categorised as either “space” work, concerned with how specific places and activities are connected together (potentially globally), and “place” work, concerned with the details of interactions in specific places. While we can divide up our work in this way, this is perhaps a difficult distinction to make since many technologies (such as maps) cross over, since although they are used in specific places they are produced as a standardised spatial view.
