GPS MUSEUM is a database about geolocated artworks and locative media dealing with art, gaming, ecology, cosmology, science, education, activism and softwares.I didn’t want to create the typical “google maps Mercator projection” to browse the database and geolocate the locative projects i have found during my numerous investigations on the web. Very soon we will be fed up with this mode of representation which is not quite satisfying to geolocate knowledge and because it is false and doesn’t respect the proportions between the countries. Yes, the map itself should be altered by the data we geolocate (see:worldmapper.com). This question of the adaptation between the representation of the map itself and the information will be the key place to debate in a next future.
