The part that I found interesting in the Corner reading was the part about play. What I understood was that to try and distinguish between the real and virtual is to miss the point completely because to distinguish between the two is to be external to the imagination. To make static a reciprocating relationship. Our participation is what forms space we might think of as inviolate. As someone who feels that to this day they have failed at creating a successful mapping I find comfort in this. The process is what seems important and can actually feed future mappings. I also wonder about the value of one dimensional mapping because they seem to record a specific moment of a dynamic relationship. With new types of technology and the advent of wireless and mobile technology the possibility for a constantly updating field seems promising. It makes me think of the possible mapping potential of an application like twittervision...
