In Remapping LA: Hollywould, led by UCLA REMAP, the community around Hollywood Boulevard investigated and articulated their interpretation of the urban neighborhood’s physical, cultural and social identities, resulting in a showing at Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions (LACE).
Community organizations from the area collected geotagged, keyworded images, audio, and video—using cutting-edge technology, such as interpretive databases, online media, and mobile computing. These were fused together into mobile and collective experiences using technology developed at REMAP.
A collaboration with LA Freewaves, the collective experience built upon research and creativity through technological experimentation and social engagement—with methodologies similar to those developed during Remapping LA, a long-term research effort and predecessor of the Interpretive Media Laboratory, an ongoing collaboration between UCLA REMAP and California State Parks.
