Abstract:
|
The Degree Confluence Project is an Internet-based project that aims to document the earths surface through a systematic sampling of points where the latitude and longitude are perfect integers. This paper examines the cultural scripts participants employ to tell their stories about confluence hunting. As they pursue degree confluences near and far, their narratives reveal how the convergence of popular consumer technology, a rationalized system of spatial organization, and the desire to make the abstractions of latitude and longitude concrete are a means toward re-enchanting the globe. |
