Sousveillance Tool
Description
Reflection
The intial idea for this project was to pinpoint the places on googlemaps where there was missing data, taking the idea
of sousveillance quite literally. While working on this I heard news of one of the most important authors to ever exist, bell hooks,
passing away. It was hard to think about anything else. Then I got to think about how to be seen even when you aren longer here physically.
I created this tool to let the words of those present and past live on. So that they can be seen through their words. The size of the text
is to highlight that notion that there is/was someone behind the words.
In the future I want to create a database of quotes bipoc, queer, trans, disabled, and other marginalized people to specifically celebrate the voices that need to be heard most.
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee. - Shakespeare
rest in love bell hooks.
