Tim Waters - Neighbourhood Maps Denis wood, this American life radio extract on his work
'ACT ONE. SIGHT.
Denis Wood talks with host Ira Glass about the maps he's made of his own neighborhood, Boylan Heights in Raleigh, North Carolina. They include a traditional street locator map; a map of all the sewer and power lines under the earth's surface; a map of how light falls on the ground through the leaves of trees; a map of where all the Halloween pumpkins are each year; and a map of all the graffiti in the neighborhood. In short, he's creating maps that are more like novels, trying to describe everyday life'www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/110/Mapping
Relay humorous and interesting way to look at and and in a way quantify the world around us and how we pass through it the routs we chose and the indicators we leave behind us
for instance when looking at the concentration of street signage Wood found that the main concentration of signage was to be found where people from outside the area where passing through whereas the least signage was present in areas mainly used by local residents.

Wood also found a correlation in his findings with the houses most mentioned in the local neighborhood newsletter and and those prominently displaying pumpkin 'jack o lanterns' on Halloween.
what kind of ways might a gallery space be mapped? the people traffic followed?
- Signage?
- litter?
- Incidents of interference?
- noise frequency?
- demographic of interest in various areas? who goes just to see the new exhibition and who goes to see the permanent collection
