Maps are exceptionally powerful tools. Aerial photography presents itself as of the most stunning and convincing of those tools. Traditionally, cartography has been an expensive, time consuming, and highly specialized activity. To a large degree, it still is. But what does it mean when you make aerial photography accessible to anyone with $100 worth of supplies and a digital camera?
That is what a group of of "activists, educators, technologists, and community organizers now known as Public Laboratory developed when they came together with the goal of generating new ways to promote action, intervention, and awareness through a participatory research model."

Their map making goals are simple:
- low cost
- data legibility (including a preference for maps and other rich visual means of representation)
- ease of use/low barrier to entry
- public participation
- high quality, environmentally and socially relevant data
- creative reuse of consumer technology
- open source and user modifiable design

This is a related organization called Grassroots Mapping that has a ton of great information and a great network of friendly folks:

It's exciting to think about what this can mean as a tool for homegrown community planning to land use and zoning disputes to art and design. We can 't wait to try this out ourselves at (a)bitotic, in the mean time, Happy Mapping Everyone!
