Claire--excellent blog on this amazing collaborative art piece. All the talking we did around curating atlas(t) is manifested here!

Great work in thinking about "Wall Street" as an enacted metonym. Similarly, another rhetorical device could be invoked by considering OWS activists who identify as the 99% as a synechdoche for those whom they represent but who are not present.

On another note, a bit of additional context for the DART map can be found on the Using San Francisco History blog, in a post entitled "Changing Place Names to Change Historical Memory" -

  • The books one reads in childhood, and perhaps most of all the bad and good bad books, create in one's mind a sort of false map of the world, a series of fabulous countries into which one can retreat at odd moments throughout the rest of life, and which in some cases can survive a visit to the real countries which they are supposed to represent.

    Geography and space are always gendered, always raced, always economical and always sexual. The textures that bind them together are daily re-written through a word, a gaze, a gesture.
