| Summary: | This article engages the controversies surrounding locative media projects from the perspective of two spatial projections termed as ‘unveiling’ and ‘attaching’. The positions are illustrated with projects from locative media and counter-cartography. It is argued that a spatial projection approaching networks as a priori convergent topoi makes itself blind to the entities and logistics performing the effect of convergence and homogeneity. It is suggested that the controversy around locative media can subside only when mapping efforts concentrate on tracing the intensities of performativity, rather than mistaking its effects for an already present context. |
