summary
Covers specific projects and failures: maps power investigations (Miami Herald Pulitzer after Hurricane Andrew), electoral data work (Nate Silver/538), activists mapping Tunisian prisons, and local experiments like Bakersfield’s pothole map and EveryBlock hyperlocal dashboard. Describes building a Gentilly house-and-people map with photos and interviews, an art-walk test that collects 125 pictures in three hours from eight phones, a San Diego disaster exercise, and tools like Wikitude compassing and barcode readers, noting verification and GPS-spoofing risks.
