1. Visual Approach to Locative Urban Knowledge Viktor Bedö - University Pécs, Hungary / Berlin- Brandenburg Academy of Sciences, Germany
2. Locative Urban Knowledge • Urban knowledge: knowledge that is embedded into urban space. • Locative: geographical space matters. Knowledge is information in context. For locative information urban space provides the context. Viktor Bedö, Visual Approach to Locative Urban Knowledge June 28. 2007, Digital Cities 5.
3. Mapping Urban Space - hybrid space BlueSpot - www.emergentbudapest.org Geographical space and virtual space can not be separated from each other. They are interwoven and constitute a hybrid space. Interactive urban maps: depict geographical space as well as dynamic real-time information from both physical and virtual space. The feedback between map and user is permanent; the user shapes space through his or her past, current, and future actions and movements, etc. Viktor Bedö, Visual Approach to Locative Urban Knowledge June 28. 2007, Digital Cities 5.

6. Spatial Annotation Systems, Locative Community Services Google Earth BlueSpot (launching July 2007) Plazes DenCity Viktor Bedö, Visual Approach to Locative Urban Knowledge June 28. 2007, Digital Cities 5.
7. Spatial Annotation Systems, Locative Community Services Are these useful communication tools, or just funny toys for geeks? Time and space in which communication takes place does matter for a certain kind of information. We have to find out what kind of information that is. Viktor Bedö, Visual Approach to Locative Urban Knowledge June 28. 2007, Digital Cities 5.
8. How do we find out what kind of knowledge is location dependent? How can we determine the situations most better susceptible to locative application larger communication user community systems? discovering what kind of knowledge is locative ... visual approach to urban locative knowledge. Viktor Bedö, Visual Approach to Locative Urban Knowledge June 28. 2007, Digital Cities 5.
9. Urban Knowledge: organizational patterns of locative information Knowledge on community level emerges from messages on individual level Spatial organization is a visual phenomenon so we need visual instruments. Large cities as living organisms Jane Jacobs Dan Sperber Culture as epidemic pattern of individual representations. Viktor Bedö, Visual Approach to Locative Urban Knowledge June 28. 2007, Digital Cities 5.
10. Visual Discovery: extracting order from chaos. visual convention, representational conservatism • We don't know, how these patterns structural intuition are going to look like. Martin Kemp •We don't know how many elements a principle by which means artists and will constitute a coherent pattern. scientists extract order from the chaos • We don't even know if we use the of visual phenomena. optimal instrument. physiological and cognitive structures (reaching back to pre- or subverbal deep structures) Viktor Bedö, Visual Approach to Locative Urban Knowledge June 28. 2007, Digital Cities 5.
