...we have instructions and a map buried in our hearts when we enter this world....– Joy Harjo, in Crazy Brave
mapping other ontologies
A Haptic Atlas maps other ontologies, serving as a wayfinding tool, guide, and curriculum that navigates through material, process, reflection, and observation. These projects and portals are a way of orienting oneself, a lay of the landscape. And they are ever in process. More will be revealed.
Each artefact, web page, social intervention, image or project is an independent narrative, but taken together form a way of re-orienting one’s self to the world, asking new questions, and finding a new place.
The Atlas invites you "to be intentional about what you choose, how you choose. What you pay attention to, and how you construct meaning from it." (Wallace, p54)
